Thank you all so much, I have learnt a couple of things I didn't know and will try, I haven't left the foot up as I wasn't doing FMQ, and I didn't realise the fleece may have a stretch one way and not another., most of the other suggestions I have tried but it just will not work. But.. I will try once again with the above in mind, if not it will have to be hand.. I have never quilted by machine before, everything I do is usually by hand. I just don't like being beaten, especially by a machine!!!!
