As for the needles I'm kinda stuck there. This machine originally used a Kenmore #49 or Boye 2 1/2 needle.
Those are all but extinct. As per the advice from Kevin Pinkerton from ISMAC, I've got some DCx1F serger needles for it. All they come in is sharp, in sizes 11, 14, 16, 18. I'm using size 14s.
Could the presser foot tension have something to do with this? I'm not sure where it's set, works good on regular type materials so I left it alone. For fleece should it tighter or looser?

Try the quilting foot. Unfortunately sharps are not good for knits. For fleece, I don't think you'll see a problem, but maybe....sharps can leave holes in many knits and actually cause some of the material to make runs and ruin the fabric. I've done that myself:< The pressure may need to be tweaked. I would try using a larger needle and increase the pressure and see how that goes? You may just have to sew fleece on a machine that you can get the proper needle for.
