this puzzles me somewhat. I have several clothing items made of fleece, jackets, ponchos etc., I have never noticed stretching being a problem with those. I also used fleece as a backing on a lap quilt with no batting. It didn't stretch either, but I had quilted it in approx. 6 inch squares. My grandchildren have purchased throws that do seem to have a lot of stretch( sort of "minkie-like"). As there are any weights and types of fleece available, I think you would have to judge them separately.
