I've only made a couple of quilts so far, but have used fireside fleece as a backing on all 4 of them. Three are queen sized and I quilted them on my DSM which has an 11" throat. I cut my binding on two of them at 2.5" and it was OK, but on the last two I decided to cut at 3" and sew it on with a 1/2" seam and I think I liked that better. Fireside is called adult minky. It has a nap, but not as pronounced as the minky. It's 60" wide so I seamed it down the back. I used a 1" seam allowance so they would lie fairly flat and the seam isn't really that noticeable. I could tell when I did my FMQ when I hit the double layer of fleece, but it didn't change the way the machine sewed. I really love it, and would use it anytime I wanted a quilt to be warm and cozy. I also used Hobbs 80/20 batting with no problems. There are pictures in my album.
