Fleece Batting?
Our local store has Pellon Lightweight Needle Punch Sew in Fleece Batting for sale on a super special.
I don't know anything about this....Is this good for baby quilts? Or?
I've tried to search it but with no real results.

Hi Watson, I don't have any personal experience but the pellon site does list several different blends...maybe you can get a little more detail before deciding to try it? Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Just wondering .... is the store mis-naming it?
The fleece that I have seen is an iron on fusible, called for when making purses/bags.
While it is probably technically called interfacing, to me it has more of a batting quality to it.
Check it out and see what you think about it.
If hesitant, buy a small quantity, rush home to try it .....
Then if you like it ...... run back before the sale is over, and stockpile!
All of the Pellons have their product name/# on the bolts, so you could check on that with the store, and read up about it online.
Here's a link to where your store has likely purchased it.
It'll take some time to go through it all, but you might find the info that you need/want.

Make sure you know the width of the fleece. I use a polyester "fleece" all the time. It is 90" wide and it washes well, is very light and quilts well. There is a fusible one that is only 40" wide and I use it for bags and such.

Watson, Is the batting thicker than regular fleece? Just curious.
Let us know what you decide. . . . and your experience if you buy it. Thanks.
found this and it lists all their fleece products.

I talked to Chris at the Orangeville Fabricland and she said it would be a weight she would use for placemats or runners. This one is sew in--not fusible. And of course, they did not have any. Drat!!
