I've only just started quilting, but so far I've made 4 quilts with fireside on the back, and included batting also. Three of them were queen sized and one throw sized. There are pictures in my album. I really love how cozy the quilt is. It is bulkier to quilt on my DSM but I have an 11" throat so I've managed. I don't spray baste, only lots of pins. The pins are a little bit harder to push through than with cotton on the back. For the queen sized I seamed the pieces across the width (since it is 60" wide) with a 1" seam allowance so that it lays flat. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. I purchase my fireside locally since it is carried in a number of the LQS here around Calgary, Alberta.
