Lite Steam-A-Seam 2® Lightweight Double-Stick Fusible Web – 12" x 3 Yard Packages – Full Case
Make fusible appliqué, quilting, and fabric crafts easier with Lite Steam-A-Seam 2® Lightweight Double-Stick Fusible Web. Available here as a full case of 12" x 3-yard packages, this lightweight, heat-activated fusible web features a temporary pressure-sensitive adhesive that allows fabric pieces to be positioned and repositioned before permanent fusing.
The lightly tacky double-stick surface temporarily holds appliqué pieces in place, giving you time to arrange, adjust, and preview your design before reaching for the iron. Once everything is positioned exactly where you want it, heat activates the fusible web to create the permanent bond.
This repositionable design makes Lite Steam-A-Seam 2® especially useful for fusible appliqué, collage quilting, landscape quilts, art quilts, embellishments, garment details, and other precision fabric projects. You can even evaluate placement on a wall hanging or garment before permanently fusing the design.
The Lite construction is designed for projects where a lighter-weight fusible bond is preferred, helping minimize unnecessary bulk while still providing the positioning convenience of Steam-A-Seam 2®.
Beyond traditional appliqué, Lite Steam-A-Seam 2® can be used for a wide variety of creative applications, including no-sew hems and seams, pockets, embellishments, zipper applications and repairs, as well as appropriate craft projects using materials such as paper, cardboard, wood, and glass.
Finished fabric projects can be machine washed and dried or dry cleaned according to the provided care instructions. For the longest-lasting bond, avoid fabric softener, as its chemicals can weaken the fusible web over time.
The full-case format is an excellent option for quilt shops, sewing and craft retailers, classrooms, workshops, studios, professional makers, and businesses that regularly sell or use fusible web.

What is Lite Steam-A-Seam 2®?
Lite Steam-A-Seam 2® is a lightweight, double-stick, repositionable fusible web used to temporarily position fabric and appliqué pieces before permanently bonding them with heat.

Yes. The lightly tacky adhesive temporarily holds pieces in place while still allowing them to be repositioned before permanent fusing.
Why is repositionable fusible web useful?
Repositionability allows you to arrange and adjust appliqué pieces until the design is correct. Permanent fusing becomes the final step rather than something you must do before seeing the completed layout.
