Now I am going to experiment. This is perfect timing - your post. Wendi Gratz who did a fusible applique class on Craftsy does the quilt front and quilting just with fabric and batting and then adds the fleece as last step for backing and that worked well too. I love a warm quilt. But I had been wondering no that I am learning free motion from yourself how it would work on the fleece. Yay very happy to read your experiment.Kathryn Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08964951326616144323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-4885291055001883562017-04-03T08:52:31.717-04:002017-04-03T08:52:31.717-04:00I love using fleece as an all-in-one backing &...I love using fleece as an all-in-one backing & batting option for lighter weight quilts I, however, had a huge problem with thread breaking while FMQ with fleece. After MUCH trial and error and searching every quilting board for a solution, I finally came upon a post that recommended using an embroidery needle for FMQ on denser fabrics such as flannel or fleece. Those needles are tempered and resist bending at high speeds and the eye of the needle is polished which helps with thread breaking as well. It might be different for every machine, but if any readers are having a thread break problem, try embroidery needles!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14513891191767578066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-54502410912130138662017-04-02T23:29:16.791-04:002017-04-02T23:29:16.791-04:00I use fleece all the time and Minkee with 80-20 ba...I use fleece all the time and Minkee with 80-20 batting but I have never put a fusing on the fleece. Seems like it might be a lot of extra work and expense.GranChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05983272027109339559noreply@blogger.com
