    Default question about fleece backing

    Hi all! I am working on a tee shirt quilt and my customer wants a fleece backing. Has anyone ever quilted on a longarm with fleece as the backing before? I am afraid its going to stretch and be a bunched up mess! Thanks for any advice you can give me.

    Yes. Just finished one. She also wanted batting, so I used W&N. Fleece stretches more in one way than the other. I put the stretch going across the frame. You may need to loosen your tension a bit. Comes out very nicely.
