fleece backing
#2
I have, on a long arm machine and it turned out fine. I had a harder time with the binding(I left enough of the back to roll over to the front)...it had buckles in it that I couldn't get out all the way.

I use it a lot because it is so warm and snuggly (I do a lot of lap blankets), it tends to bunch up during machine quilting but I did find if I didn't lower the presure foot and moved the quilt myself , it didnt bunch up. And of course hand quilting it was a snap.

Have done several and I like how it turns out. I stitch in the ditch and try not to pull, because of the stretch, free motion is out of the question for me, anyways. I found to bind it after I was done quilting, I sewed around the entire edge, that made it easier to bind. One thing I like is it is only two layers as compared to using traditional cotton as the backing. Just remember it can stretch, but if you are careful it is not a problem.

Would it be to hard to use fleece backing and warm and natural together? My poor DD freezes on the 4th of July. I am thinking about backing a lap quilt with fleece for her. Can you also use the spray basting with fleece?

I have used fleece on baby quilts. I spray basted and it held well enough to avoid the stretchiness I expected. And when I did the edges before I put the binding on, I used a big zigzag to hold the fleece in palce before attaching the binding. Worked OK. Wouldn't want to do it on anything really big!
