For backing, have you ever used.....

I have a long arm and have used minkee a couple of times and you have to be very careful not to stretch it too tight. If done correctly, it works great and I would imagine that something like that would be a lot harder on a home sewing machine as it does want to keep moving the whole time and at least on the long arm, it can't go anywhere. It makes a great quilt. I used batting in one and not the other and I liked putting the binding on better with the quilt that had the batting as there was more to hand sew the binding too. Both turned out good though.

I have never tried minky or fleece - I have gotten bargains on flannel sheets and used those - wash it first . I have gotten them for 5-10 a set after the holidays going into spring. I am sure this year will be a bit different but still alot cheaper than 10 per yard
