I searched this and found a couple of threads about using fleece for batting. I'm not sure if it's recommended or would be advised against. I have quite a bit of fleece, that I will probably never use. I'd love to find a use for it, especially as I don't have any regular batting right now.
Any opinions? Thanks |
I would like to know this too
|
I am planning too, I can get it a lot cheaper than batting :D:D:D
|
Would like to see the answer to this question also. I have more fleece than batting also.

The only idea that comes to mind is that you would want to preshrink your cottons first, because the fleece will not shrink the same. I have used it as a backing on a baby quilt without any problems. The panel was shrunk first. Good Luck:)

This sounds like a great idea if it will work. Batting, even at JoAnn's has gone up so much, even with the coupon. Fleece, I think would be alot cheaper... I will watch this thread.

Have never tried it for batting but when I was young we lived in the south in the country and my mother used old thin blankets for her quilt batting.
|
What fleece are you all referring to?
|
I've used: 1 finished top + 1 piece of polar fleece = 1 quilt.
Works great (for me). |
