Sherry, Ricky's favorite is Steam-A-Seam light (available in the TQS Shoppe). https://www.thequiltshowshoppe.com/?a=VP&id=198
Another fusible available in the Shoppe is Misty Fuse. I haven't tried that one, but hear good things about it.
These both leave the fabrics much more pliable. For an even softer appliqué don't use fusible! You can outline your shape on the back of the fabric with LIQUID STITCH. Let it air dry completely then cut out the shape, put it in position and bond it with a hot dry iron!

Thanks, Margo. The Steam a Seam 2 is pretty stiff, too. The project I am doing has applique on top of applique in several places. I think I'll try the Misty Fuse and see what I think. I do have some of the Liquid Stitch and that might be good on a smaller project. I appreciate the input.

Hi Sherry. You might want to try Mistyfuse.
It's kind of a bummer that this BSR is so temperamental. However, I'm pretty comfortable doing free motion without it. Probably more actually, so we'll see what happens when I take everything to my dealer.
Happy 4th of July weekend to all of you. -sheilaComment
