Default first time with fleece....help pls

I need to finish up a quilt for my DGS. I chose fleece for the backing rather than using batting, but I find myself stalling because I've never sewed stretchy fabric or any kind of knit before. I was in a rush the day I purchased it, and never read the label or even really looked at it. I don't even know which side is right and which is wrong. Also, I don't have a walking foot. Do I wash the fleece first? Which side is "right"? How do I handle the stretch? I don't have extra money to spend to get another backing or batting. Do I NEED a walking foot or is there a way to make do without? Any help or advice is appreciated.
