What is your favorite Fusible Web for aplique?
I need to make a semi-landscape quilt & was wondering what is the best light weight fusible webbing to use. Any suggestion please. Thanks everybody.

I use Wonder Under (Pellon 805) exclusively after trying many other brands, including those listed so far plus a few others. Some of my reasons asre:
It is easy to hand stitch through, even in multiple layers.
It never gums up hand or machine needles.
I can run it through my inkjet printer to get accurate copies of patterns.
I can transfer patterns directly onto the fused web so I don't have to dull my scissors/cutters by cutting the paper.
It's readily available and low cost.
It's the widest fusible web available.
It is consistantly reliable and, in my experience, never goes 'bad'.

I have always used Steam a seam 2, and my LQS purchases it by the box for me. I will be so glad when we can get it again, although I am not out yet. I have made dozen's of applique quilts using this and love it. I hand stitch around my pieces with embroidery floss using the button hole stitch. My quilts wash beautifully.
