like all else "it's your choice" I don't make wall hangings but if I did I wouls use a fusible fleece because it is stiffer than batting, maybe not necessarily fusible but that kind that sold in that section, it's very dense but still thin.

I learned the hard way. use batting. i did a foundation block quilt so i felt i didn't need batting. all the quilting i did in the border doesn't show well at all. with even a cotton batting that quilt would have looked a great deal better. so yes.

I do use batting( low loft) for wall hangings, it gives it texture to the quilting, and a bit more "structure" than going without. I sometimes use the wide felt in place of batting, since it is not intended for constant washing.
