Applique help

It's been years since I've appliqued, but have come across some cute children's patterns that would be great for Project Linus quilts lately. What is the lightest weight fuseable that will leave the quilt flexible and soft enough for a baby after it's quilted. I have some Heat and Bond Lite here and some Soft Fuse Premium, but they seem rather stiff to me. Suggestions will be appreciated.

Misty Fuse is very light and flexible.

Heat n bond lite washes away after the quilt is finished so leaves the quilt very soft. Misty fuse is also nice.

I like the heat and bond lite. I haven't tried the Misty fuse.

I have tried several different types/brands of fusible, but Heat & Bond Lite is my go-to. I've had the best results with its "holdability," and I don't think it leaves anything too stiff.
