Then I read the suggestion about using batting to prevent the seams from showing through. Hmmm.
From a lot of experience, I have found it really is important to find medium to heavy weight fleece. The very thin does really need a batting in addition to the backing, but the heavier fleece work beautifully without any batting. I, too, spray baste and then use only enough quilting to securely anchor the front and back together.
