fleece
#1
I just tried using fleece for my backing (no batting needed) on a lap quilt I am making for my dad. I just machine quilted it on my Kenmore machine. It was so easy!!!! I did use the invisible thread (just for the top thread, and the same color as the fleece for the bobbin)...yes it was a pain...but I just keep rethreading it...and it looks good. Now I just need to bind and then I am done. It should be nice and soft...I am going to make my sons quilts with fleece too.

It was easier than batting...really. so far I really like it. I just need to put the binding on.

The only tip I have is not to stretch the fleece when pinning it to your quilt top. Just lay it flat, pin and then quilt however. I've stitched in the ditch and also used my embroidery unit and did a design in each block.

I've been wondering about the wisdom of using the plastic invisible thread in a baby or small child's quilt.
Any comments on this? Does it get brittle after a lot of washings and maybe break, or stretch to catch a tiny finger?
