    Default For applique' Steam a seam regular or lite??

    I know this has been discussed (more than once) but I just need to know if the regular steam a seam is too heavy to applique with?? I have some regular but will buy lite if I must This will be for flowers and leaves on a quilt.

    I've used heavy because that was what I had on hand, but if I had it to do over I'd definitely go for the lite. The heavy tends to be hard to stitch through when quilting . . . hmmm, guess that wasn't steam-a-seam I used??? You know it's late at night and I'm old.

    This could be dangerous.

    When you get cold just go stand in the corner.
    They are usually 90 degrees.

    A giraffe's coffee would be cold by the time it reached the bottom of his throat.
    Ever think about that? No? You only think about yourself??

    I always use the lightest fusible I can find.

    For some things, yes.....when I took my applique class, we used misty fuse. Now that I have my Scan & Cut, I don't know which I would use, but I would definitely use that to cut everything out!

    I always use lite. Also if it is a big piece I cut out the center and just fuse the edges.
