Do you mean the pattern? Again, loads of sources. You can trace shapes. Like a circle you can use a glass or small plate. You can use cookie cutters to trace shapes. Lots of people like to use children's coloring book pages for shapes because they are usually not to complicated. You can draw your own. Go to the library and look at quilting books that have applique, many of them have the template drawn out that you can trace and then make a template out of. And of course there are applique patterns out there, loads of them. Like Bunny Hill Designs
https://bunnyhilldesigns.com/ (some freebies on her site!) Piece o' Cake
https://pieceocake.com/ They also have freebies.
And there are free patterns out there, just google free applique you will probably get loads of hits.
There are even places that make laser cut prefused shapes and all you have to do is iron it on and stitch it down. Like here:

But the problem with these is you have to go with the fabric they have used. Most people make their own shapes from their fabric either using a pattern or making their own patterns.
If you mean the fusible webbing like wonder under or steam a seam you can buy that at loads of places too. Walmart usually has it as does Hobby Lobby and JoAnn Fabric. It comes in sheets, in strips and by the yard on a bolt. The directions on how to use it are right on the product.
