I always use Heat n Bond Lite but now they also have Ultra Lite. I use the purple pkg. and I think the ultra lite is a pink or blue pkg. Do NOT use the one in the red pkg. for applique. It is too heavy and stiff and is for just crafts like covering boxes, etc. Also be sure to just use the Heat n Bond around just the edges of your larger pieces. For instance, if you want to make Sunbonnet Sue just use about 1/4 inch around her dress and apron, but her hand and shoe will be Heat n Bond allover.
