Default Fleece buttonholes

I know this is kind of off-topic, but I always get the best quilting help here... And I don't really do much other sewing, so I am not familiar with other sewing sites.

A friend has asked me to sew some buttons on his trench coat, and also asked if I could put a button hole in his scarf so that he could attach it to his collar. I looked at the scarf tonight and it is two layers of fleece sewn together.

I have been googling around and leaned a bit about sewing with fleece, but I didn't really find anything that gave details on using a machine that has a buttonhole foot. Does anyone have experience with button holes and fleece? From what I read it sounds like I might need some wash-away stabilizer, and polyester thread was recommended.

I haven't even used the buttonhole foot yet, so I will experiment before attempting it with his scarf. Any advice is appreciated!!
