There are heavy weight fusibles people use for craft items--stay away from that--they make your applique pieces stiff as cardboard and never soften up! If you make a mistake and buy it you can use it for wall hangings but if you use it on a quilt it'll be like pieces of cardboard all over your quilt! I stick with the lightest weight I can possibly find expecially if you are planning to hand applique. There is also some lightweight fusible that washes out, I bought some but haven't used it yet so I can't tell you how good or bad it is.
