I also tried most, but stuck with pellons lightest fusible. Works the best for me and it's priced so much better than the others.

I bought 5 yards of Heat N Bond Lite from eBay for $18.77. (free shipping.) If you want the link let me know. I couldn't find it here in small town, USA so I just ordered some! I don't know if it was a good deal or not but at least now I have some.

We use Wonder-under for every applique that we do, and we a lot of applique. I highly recommend it.

I just recently used Heat N Bond Lite for the first time.
I really like it more than the Wonder Under that I used before.

I use all different type heat bonds depending on what I am sewing with it and the material I am using. I made a big mistake by using heavy heat bond on some thinner fabric as I needed it to be very stiff and my iron was a mess!

JoAnn's definitely has Wonder Under, it's with the interfacings and you can use a 40% coupon for it. It also goes on sale sometimes.

Your comment about the Heat and Bond is a good testament to what it is - thicker. So use that when you need a thick strong fusible webbing and use the others when you need something lighter.

Steam a Seam 2 is lighter than Steam a Seam. Both are "re-positionable", which is a really nice feature. I love Wonder Under for machine applique because it keeps the fabrics together while I stitch around.

Both Steam a Seam products have paper on both sides, Wonder Under has paper on one side and Misty Fuse doesn't have any paper. I have not used Heat and Bond.

Great question! :thumbup:

I have always used wonder under and when my quilts aren't still and wash very well. I used wonder under on the
T-shirts I made for my g-sons yesterday and they aren't stiff either.
