I had never heard of starching fleece but it was mentioned in another thread. http://www.quiltingboard.com/posts/list/16317.page

I will be quilting them this weekend hopefully and will post pictures when I am done.

I did run into some streching when adding the borders. I measured twice and cut once and I was still off about an inch. I think I will put a patch in place and cover it with my lable or an applique.

Happy quilting,

wow! that's a new one for me! i wonder how that would affect the stretch. it would have to go in the same direction.
i also wonder how hard it would be for the needle to go through. sometimes it can get tough going through even one layer depending on the on the fleece.


please let us know how this all works out. maybe post showing the front and back if you can..
