Heat & Bond light is a little softer. I like Lite Steam-a-seeam 2. It adheres to the fabric before you press and allows you to reposition before you iron. I especially like it on smaller pieces. At least they don't shift when you put the iron on them. Another thing I do on larger pieces is to cut out the middle of the fusible, leaving just the perimeter on the edge. The center is soft like a hand applique, but fused at the edges.
