When you stack your face fabric , backing and fleece, make sure that when you sew, that the fleece is down first, then face fabric turned right side up, then backing facing toward the face fabric, and sew around the outer edge. The reason your backing wants to show on the front, is when you birth it, the fleece creates a padding effect along the edges, and makes it show all around. If you stack it the way I said, (it does not matter whether you sew with the fleece on top or bottom) the face fabric will curl more to the back. Problem solved. The fluffiness of fleece or batting creates a “chubby” edge along which ever fabric it is sewn closest to or touching it. It is a physics issue I cannot scientifically explain, but there you have it in quilting terms.
