Has anyone backed a quilt with fleece. I would like to use it on my SIL football quilt. Is it to stretchy to quilt. Any input would be great. Let me know if this is feasible. Thanks.

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.

Quite a few people use fleece for backing. There have been numerous posts about it here. You might try the 'search' button at the top of this page.

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?

Never done the batting and fleece backing together. I have found the fleece is warm enough and lightweight, too. Maybe someone who has done that very thing will post. I am curious myself. Yes, I do spray baste, used to pin, anymore do not, it sticks. When I am in doubt I pin here and there.

I've used the poly batting and the fleece together and have had no problem, and I just used the fleece and W&N and had no problem, I add the extra depending on who and where its going (cold)

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!

A customer of mine recently used minky (on a king size), it came out beautifully. I expecially liked the way the quilting cut into the pile of the fabric - made the design really sink in/pop.
