I'm making a sweatshirt jacket and I'm placing quilters cotton on top of the sweatshirt (store bought).
My question.... I want to quilt it on my sewing machine, with the sweatshirt and fabric on top only. Will this be ok or do I need to put something under the sweatshirt fabric? Am I going to have a problem free motion quilting it?
Everything has been prewashed.
Thanks.

In sweatshirts I have done, Ihave not used any batting between the quilted fabric and sweatshirt fabric. However, you should use a stabilizer beneath the sweatshirt before you do you free motion quilting on it. I am afraid that coupling batting in between the layers with the fleece of the sweatshirt might make your jacket too bulky and way too hot to be comfortable.
