You have to fuse the fleece with the fabric side up and the fleece underneath, so that the heat of the iron can get to the dots more easily.
I really like the fusible fleece when making purses and bags, it adds body. I wouldn't use it in a quilt. I like "drapey" quilts and use Hobbs Heirloom batting mostly. I thread baste when I will be hand quilting, and pin baste when I will be machine quilting.
