I’m a Mistyfuse fan. You don’t even know it’s there it’s so invisibly soft, and never gums up the needle. Will never go back to anything else.

I've been really happy with steam a seam lite since I figured out that you really do have to steam it a lot before you sew it. I've never left it unsewn so I don't know how it would hold up.

I have used a lot of different ones but the one I use now is Quilter's Select Appli Web Plus.

Applique - Looks like there are multiple WonderUnder products - which do you use, please. I like ability to buy by the bolt, especially when there are coupons to be used. I am relatively new and loving the process.
Thanks.

I discovered another one when trying out wool applique. It is called Soft Fuse. It does have paper on one side so you can trace on it. It is a bit pricey but I would never use anything else for wool. I could also you it on cotton if I were using many layers.

I use heat'n'bond lite. One day I will try some other fusible options but for now heat'n'bond works for me just fine.

I've only done one project with fused applique and I used Mistyfuse. It was super easy to work with and I like the result. Used machine blanket stitch to sew around the edges of 280 leaves, which worked very well for my design. I can't say I don't feel it at all, but it certainly didn't add the weight I'd expect with other products I've used in garment making.

Thank you everyone. This will be a new experience for me and I'm excited to start the project. Have a couple of things to finish up though but it helps motivate me to finish so I can move ahead with a new project. A lot of information here. Thanks again.

805 is what I use. Just bought two bolts at wholesale from Brewer.

Our favorite at the store is "Soft Fuse." It's dry, not tacky.
