So I just looked up Misty Fuse. There's no paper, so do you draw your design directly onto it? Can you fuse it to one piece at a time? It's not making sense to me for applique.

I use parchment with Misty Fuse.

I use Steam a SeamLite 2.
You can draw on it and then cut out, take the backing off and stick it down temporarily. You are able to move it around until you get it just right and then iron it down. It's also good to sew through (IME) for quilting. Another thing I like is that I can have my background hanging on my design wall and stick the SaSL2 applique directly to it and it will stay there for me to step back and look at it.

Can you please clarify how you use the Misty Fuse to baste your quilt?' Thanks...

I would fuse the Misty Fuse to the back of a piece of fabric and then cut out the shape. Be sure to use an oven liner or baking parchment between the Misty Fuse and the iron. :)

You can also use it with needleturn - apply just a little bit of it to the back of each piece and fuse the pieces to the background fabric as you would use glue or needle basting.

Misty fuse is my choice for double sided fusible. Does the job every time.
