I wondered about the steam a seam, I have been using wonder under, the lightest, I think. Am not minding it but the paper really sticks, if I use a pin and rip, it comes off. I do like the lightweightness (not sure of the spelling or if it is even a word) on applique as compared to even the steam a seam light. Just my thought.

I suggest MistyFuse, too. I used to use SAS Lite all the time until I tried this stuff. I'm hooked now. It's even softer than SAS Lite. And I love that you don't have to reverse your applique to use it!

I use heat n bond lite= in my experience it has worked better than steam a seam ever did, is easy to stitch through, readily available at a good price (fabric.com has it for $1.68 a yard) I've been using heat & bond for years and prefer it over most of the other fusibles on the market.

I picked up my new American Patchwork and quilting magazine (Dec. 2013)and it has an ad for Steam-A-Seam2 and lite Steam-A-Seams 2. I wonder if they have a new line out? It says " The Warm Company is pleased to present the NEW and IMPROVED line of Steam-A-Seam products.....
Pellon has a "lite" version of their fusible. I have some and I need to try it out. Heat N Bond is decent.

I agree that MistyFuse would be my substitute of choice. MistyFuse comes as a two-sided fusible without paper, but it's easy to press it between two sheets of parchment paper. Peel off one piece of the parchment paper and you have a paper-backed fusible.[/QUOTE]
Thank you!!! I have been using MistyFuse but have had tracing issues and was at a loss.
