I've used fleece for several lap-sized quilts. I wouldn't use it for larger quilts because it stretches. I have NOT used any other. I've had the best success when I used spray adhesive instead of any other form of basting. I pin the edges about every 6 inches 'just in case' it catches on something. Have fun and good luck!
