I used fleece backing on a wheelchair quilt, no batting, used my walking foot and a fancy stitch,. The fleece was white so I used a colored thread, stitched five inches apart( doing stitch in the ditch , forming boxes) Loved the look on the back side, and there was n o shifting. Fleece stretches, but not that much to cause a worry. Will be using it more often, so easy not to deal with batting!!
