I have used fleece as a backing with no batting. It worked wonderfully. Quilted just fine and is so snuggley.
|
I have used the pellon fleece for batting many times and have never had any problems with it.
|
I sometimes used thin flannel in between. I live in Texas and it does not get so cold here. Therefore the flannel is perfect and is not so expensive.
|
Some just use it as the backing and batting combined. It does stretch so good basting is a must.
|
I made a flannel quilt with batting and flannel backing. for a baby. It is so heavy, wish I would have put either fleece or just flannel as a backing and no batting!!!

Works great (for me). |
thank you to all who talked about the fleece. I haven't tried it but certainly will try it now. especially on baby quilts.

It does make for a wonky result. |
WASH it first--learned that the hard way!

Are you talking about "fleece" or "flannel"?
