I have found if I spray baste the fleece and just do straight line quilting, I don't have any issues quilting it on my home machine. If you do FMW, just make sure you lower the feed dogs. (And maybe put the fleece side on top.) The spray also helps to keep it from stretching.

I don't adjust my stitches at all.


otw13----You answered all of my questions and thank you. I did forget to ask about the spray basting & glad you mentioned it. The fleece comes from a thin fleece blanket I had and never used, so thought I'd use it for these. Thanks again. Marge L.
Oh, some fleece has more stretch than others, so stretch it both directions before you buy. I would buy a heavier fleece with less stretch.

Good luck :)
