Holds all the layers together perfectly for me.
This is what I do also with all backings. I have made several quilts with fleece and a pieced top - no shifting. Minkee with a pieced top - no shifting. Flannel with a pieced top - no shifting. With fleece and minkee no batting.
Makes me wonder if it was the foot you were using. I use a quilting/walking foot. Also have automatic pressure/tension on my machine.
