hey Weave ... I do alot of quilting .. but with Cotton ..

I did learn that when working with knit (or fleece) .. that when you 'tug' on an edge .. and it CURLS ... the side that it CURLS towards is the right side... I use alot of fleece for the back of my quilts ... sometimes it doesn't matter when it's solid ...

also ... drop the pressure foot, loosen the pressure for both top and bottom .. and use a 'ball' end needle...
