Excuse my ignorance, but does fleece "pill up"?
|
tenngal- somewhere in this thread there's mention of pilling; I forget which post #...BUT...the Glacier at Hancock says "Anti-Pill" so with that in mind, I would venture to guess there are ones that do, and ones that don't (and probably all that don't would (I ASSUME) state so on the packaging).

I have used fleece for batting. The quilts that are going to be washed a lot like children's quilts or nursing home throws wash and dry a lot faster.
|
Why didn't I think of this? :) Sounds like a great idea for some things. I've used Minkee for the backing on some of my quilts and it's wonderful but never thought to use fleece.

I just found out this last weekend that there is fusible fleece for this reason!
|
Does anyone worry about the flammability of fleece for baby use? Is all fleece highly flammable?

I love the idea of this, and have wondered the same thing. Chalk one up for hitting a random page on the forum and reading the subjects for lots of great information. What a great group of helpful people!

I use fleece on some of my quilts. So far everyone loves it. I like it, it seems to make up quicker and it turns out really soft. They seem to last just as long as the others I've made. I use flannel and batting on my other quilts so they are soft on the back too. I used to use sheets for backing, I still do if it's flannel.

What a great question and the answers are so encouraging. I just might have to do this!!!
