    I haven't done a lot of applique and wonder what is the best product to use. Is it wonder under?

    Like the lite one, but have been known to slip just bits and pieces under whatever it is just to keep it from moving, not the whole piece to be done, only because sometimes it does funny things when washed and dried (bubble lift), do like a stabilizer on the back if using a zigzig or satin stitch. JMO

    Lots of ways to applique, should be an interesting topic, Thanks for posting :)

    I like Heat n' Bond light better than Wonder Under. The paper peels off easier for me. BTW when you're ready to take the paper off score it with a pin and start from the middle, much easier.

    Just make sure if you plan on stitching around it you use the light or you wont be able to get your needle thru it.

    I agree. Heat and Bond Lite is all I use and I use it often. You can by it in small packages or off the bolt.

    I like the Lite Steam-a-Seam 2. It clings and you can reposition it before ironing if needed.

    I use steam a seam lite also - never tried anything else, so can not compare.
