I think Geri answered your question, all but the manufacturer, Pellon has a very nice one you buy off the bolt at most fabric stores. It is called non-woven interfacing, iron on. It is stable enough to use to make the applique piece, irons on so you don't have to pin it before stitching, but soft enough to make the finished block still soft enough when finished.
Years ago I saw an episode of sewing with nancy that utilized an unused man's sweater to cut it down for a child's size. You ironed on cut up strips where you were going to cut to stabilize the knit so you could cut it down to size before you sewed (serged) it into the kids size sweater. I have incorporated this product into many of my projects since then. It is a nice alternative to the woven interfacing.
