H Patricia,
I like fabric.com for buying fabric online.

I am disabled and cannot get out to check quality–I must order on line and could use any advice you can give me. Thank you. Patricia Hay

I’m not what most would consider “experienced” at sewing, although I’ve been teaching myself, for the last couple if years, thanks to helpful people like yourself. Fleece has so many possibilities in the world of sewing and with the great “Black Friday” sales, rather inexpensive to use. I always use anti-pil fleece, just because it made sense. As a retired US Navy veteran, I’ve been working on trying to make at least a dozen large throws/smaller blankets for the homeless veterans in our area and fleece is my go to. Granted I live just outside Savannah, Georgia and we don’t really get the crazy cold weather and our winter us fairly short so these will help.

Nadya Polar or blizzard fleece is 100% man made. Lambskin,, is lamb. Blizzard fleece is much cheaper. To get better quality fleece, I find you get what you pay for.

Do you know if there is any difference between 100% Spunpoly Lambskin Anti-Pil Fleece and just Anti-Pil Fleece? Or is it the same thing?
How to understand what fleece is better quality?

If it’s furry ( coral fleece) it won’t work. One potential work around is to sew a scallop sitich and then polk holes – see this tutorial for answers – http://www.fleecefun.com/1/post/2013/05/easy-crochet-edge-for-baby-blanket.html

I am wondering if you can advise me. I bought some “Super soft” fleece which was a ready made blanket, it is very soft and quite thick. I wanted to use a cutter to insert holes around the edge so I could crochet in to it but it ripped as soon as I handled it (the cuts just ripped towards each other). I am thinking, perhaps I am using the wrong kind of fleece? I thought fleece was firmer and wouldn’t give way like that…any ideas? 🙂 thank you

Ok in theory you can just cut slits – BUT the fleece will stretch and not maintain it’s shape. I recommend button holes.

I purchased fleece binding and am wondering if I cut slits in it for buttons will it fray? Or do I have to finish the holes with stitching like regular buttonholes? Thanks a bunch!

I confess this is a new fabric to me. I know minky (while it’s wonderful) can be a pain. I do have a trick for you. After cutting the piece roll a lint roller along the cut edges to minimize shed. Hope that helps!
