Heatnbond EZ Print Fusible

I just saw this in a catalogue and before I ordered it I wondered if any one has used it and is it very stiff? I usually use steam a seam lite and really want my appliqués as soft as possible. Thanks!

I was quilting one of six baby quilts when the "enough" hit. I bought a Husqvarna Platinum16 and I have just finished my first king quilt and doing the border took no time at all. I am thrilled!
