I have followed the post from some ladies who used just fleece for backing. I wanted to make a throw which
would be soft and warm. Well , that was an adventure,what could go wrong ,went wrong. I pinned the quilt
really well or so I thought. by the time I got to the outside of the quilt the backing had shifted. Not only did
I have to trim the borders down by 1inch,I have ripples and puckers too. What did I do wrong???Did I stretch
the fleece , that is what it looks like.
Next time, try adhesive basting. That's what I ALWAYS use, and it is especially good with fleece, because it helps stop the stretching. Sorry it happened to you. That's what caused the shifting and ripples and puckers.
