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.
Fleece is also a knit fabric and needs a ball point needle so that you don't have permanent holes in your garment or whatever you're sewing it into. I used a 90/14 ball point needle; you need to be careful that the needle isn't hitting your hook/bobbin case when you're sewing, especially if you're using a straight stitch machine.
