How in the world do you measure fleece for a backing? Every time I try to measure it, it slides around so bad I can't get the ruler to get a grip on it for a measurement and end up with a saggy back that doesn't fit at all. What can I do to get an accurate measurement so I get a back that fits the top? TIA

Good idea! Thanks.

The rulers I use for cutting fleece, cotton - any fabric - are sprayed with basting spray. At first it is too sticky, so I immediately used some backing scraps to rub excess basting spray off. The ruler holds firm to the fabric. Eventually, the basting spray wears off, so then I just repeat the process.
But I really like Quilting Cats idea! |

If you have one of those cardboard cutting boards (usually used in dressmaking), pin the fleece directly to it with sturdy straight quilting pins. The fold lines on the board make good straight scissor lines, too.
