I only use Steam-A-Seam. It comes in9x12 inch sheets, 5 to a package sold at JoAnne's. It comes in a heavy weight bonded to a paper back that is realeased with pressing. The paper then can be used as an ironing board cover or pressing sheet. The lite steam-a-seam2 is sold in packages and is sticky so it can be repositioned dozens of times until it's perfect. It has two pieces of paper,one on either side which protect it from sticking to itself and other surfaces. It is also sewable without gumming the needle but I have found than the bond is very tight if pressed according to directions (with a press cloth dampened with a water spray). I know women in my quilt quild use it for applique on their quilts. I'm currently using mine for a 90 x 90 inch wallhanging. I buy it off the roll. It is about 16 inches wide and is about 5 or 6 dollars a yard. I have a devil of a time trying to remove a pressed piece and can only do so if I just lightly touched it with an iron.
