Germination can be slow, and if you haven't had any seedlings emerge after three months then you will need to think about encouraging your seeds by breaking their dormancy. This is done by transferring the seeds to a fridge, not the freezer, for a further 3-5 months. After this period of cold treatment place the seeds back into the heated propagator where there is now no excuse for your seedlings not to emerge in approximately 3 months. Remove the tray or pots from the propagator or polythene bag and move to cooler, but frost-free conditions. Water as necessary.
Once the seedlings are large enough to handle, pop them out of their modules, damaging the root system as little as possible and pot on into 7.5 cm pots. Pot on as required until the weather is suitable for planting them out into their final position.
