I'm sorry, I didn't see your post where you were using fleece or I would have warned you. We have my Mama's quilt she has pieced on a frame, and she used fleece as the batting. She wanted "warm". Well , the quilt is so thick and stretchy that it can only be quilted by poking the needle one stitch at a time. Forget running stitch, it won't happen. And the material has stretched so much that all we do is moan about all the wrinkles. We have been working on it a year and a half, it is definitely my version of the quilt from hell. I will NOT do that again!
