fleece and the Longarm quilter
 
I have a friend that wants me to use fleece for the backing of a regular cotton quilt. I have never used fleece in this way before. Can any of you give me hints?

I have used fleece a couple of times. Even used a double fleece and no batting/no top! I like to load the fleece with the selvage edge along the leader. I think I get less stretch. Also don't tighten the rollers taut. Even if there is a bit of play, you would rather have that than stretch it. Here is a picture of one of those fleece throws in progress. the thread just buries itself in the fleece. Looks embossed!

My LA friend when working with minky, puts the minky on top, I don't know about fleece, but seems to me it would almost be the same.
