I have tried spraying it with 505 and without. My tension is okay. I have used both a walking foot and a plain one.
I use fleece all the time - but I use my serger and you have to get a piece that is a least 2 inches bigger on each side to take care of the movement.
I love using it especially for people who want it for an outdoor use (soccer or football games) makes it easy to wrap around them.
I am using a not very expensive domestic machine and perhaps that is part of the problem. I have tried every way of sewing, it did work on a small piece but not on this largish lap quilt. No batting either.
