Default Dang Fleece

Ok, it was really operator error. I sewed fleece thinking the wrong side was the right side. I'm not the first person to do that am I?

Do you use your walking foot to sew fleece?

I piece quilts but this was a doll outfit for my daughter.

You paid for both sides, so use the one you like.

I don't think it matters which side you use as long as you are happy with it!

I always use the side I think looks best. I have never used a walking foot on it but now that you have brought it to my attention I think I will try it, sounds like it might work very well.

I just to make sure I use the same side throughout. I'm trying to remember which is which but if you pull gently on the cross grain it will curl ... I think to the right side? I'd have to test it out for sure but it certainly helps to be sure you're using the same side consistently.

If you like it and use the same side throughout, it shouldn't matter.

No one will know but you. I use a lot of fleece for double layer fleece mitts and hats and sometimes the print is a little softer or muted on the wrong side. Just make sure that you use all the same side and have the stretch going across not up and down.

I often pin the pattern to one side or tother to keep the seams from going backwards. Doesn't matter which.
