Question What is your favorite Fusible Web for aplique?

I need to make a semi-landscape quilt & was wondering what is the best light weight fusible webbing to use. Any suggestion please. Thanks everybody.

MistyFuse. It holds well but adds not even the slightest bit of bulk or stiffness.

Steam a Seam 2. I checked the website the other day and they are still saying production will be in the fall.

I use Wonder Under (Pellon 805) exclusively after trying many other brands, including those listed so far plus a few others. Some of my reasons asre:
It is easy to hand stitch through, even in multiple layers.
It never gums up hand or machine needles.
I can run it through my inkjet printer to get accurate copies of patterns.
I can transfer patterns directly onto the fused web so I don't have to dull my scissors/cutters by cutting the paper.
It's readily available and low cost.
It's the widest fusible web available.
It is consistantly reliable and, in my experience, never goes 'bad'.

Some tips and tricks on fusible web.

I too prefer Heat n Bond lite. Usually get a 5 yard roll when notions are on sale with free shipping around Thanksgiving at JAF online.

Misty Fuse and Sharon Schamber's applique foundation paper. Both are top quality and never a problem with bulk or stiffness.

I have always used Steam a seam 2, and my LQS purchases it by the box for me. I will be so glad when we can get it again, although I am not out yet. I have made dozen's of applique quilts using this and love it. I hand stitch around my pieces with embroidery floss using the button hole stitch. My quilts wash beautifully.

Steam a Seam has been discontinued for a long time now. I read it was suppose to be produced again but with different paper being used as the paper supplier quit making the paper for it.
