Sol-U-Web by Pellon
Sol-U-Web is  a water soluble stabilizer topping and temporary adhesive perfect for machine applique, embroidery and monogramming.  Used as a topper, it prevents the stitches from sinking into pile and knit fabrics.  Designed for machine embroidery, it will not gum up needles. Since it is water soluble, it will allow the fabric to retain its natural hand.  Since it is a translucent film, it allows for easier positioning. After stitching, simply tear away the extra stabilizer and then spray lightly with warm water or launder to remove the remaining stabilizer.  Small beads will form.  Use a paper towel to press lightly on the area to remove the excess Sol-U-Web.

Fusibles

Steam-A Seam

With Steam-a-Seam, nothing is permanent until the final pressing.
If it does not work out the way you would like, just peel off the fabric piece with the steam-a-seam on it and put it on another fabric.
It has a tacky surface which keeps the pieces in place until the final pressing.

There are 2 types:  'Sticky back' vs 'Double stick' but when it is finished the bond is the same.

Steam-a-Seam
The original Steam-A-Seam has the pressure sensitive or the sticky on one side which allows for a temporary hold to the applique material.
It will move easily on the material so you can change the position easily until you are satisfied.  Once you are happy, just fuse in place with an iron
for a permanent bond.
FMS-034.......12" wide.......$4.50/yd.

Lite Seam-A-Seam
Lite Steam-A-Seam has the pressure sensitive adhesive on one side which allows for a temporary hold to the applique material.  It shifts easily on the second material allowing you to quickly reposition your applique pieces until pressed with an iron for a permanent bond.  Once fused, it can be machine washed and dried or dry-cleaned.  The manufacturer does not recommend drying with a dryer sheet.  The bond is strong and permanent.  It will not gum up your needle.  The Lite Steam-A-Seam is 1/2 the weight of the regular version and is ideal for lightweight fabrics plus delicate ribbons, trims and lace.
FMS-035.......12" wide.....$5.50/yd.

Steam-A-Seam 2
Steam-a-Seam 2 is a unique fusible web that has a pressure sensitive coating on both sides which allows for a temporary hold until both materials are fused for a permanent bond. Your entire appliqué stays in place without shifting or moving and it can still be repositioned until fused. You can even try a garment on before fusing to check the placement!
