I made 10 fleece blankets last year for the grands and my husband. I used my walking foot. Once I got them seamed I could go back with the double needle to decoration along the edges and my zigzag foot.
It takes a lot of patience to work with, but it's good looking and wearing stuff. When I made the two youngest granddaughters jackets out of it, they loved them and the zippers went in easily. I think the weight has something to do with it, don't y'all?
