Find a hard, flat surface such as a large piece of plywood.
Lay the fleece fabric down over the plywood.
Check for puckers and saggy spots, and smooth them away by running your hands over the fabric.
Lay the quilt top carefully over the fleece fabric.
Start pinning! I use large (1.5") safety pins. You will be sewing in most of the seams, so avoid placing safety pins where they'll get in the way.
Now you can cut around the edges of the quilt top, and presto; the backing is firmly in place and ready for sewing. Cut accurately -- it makes the binding seam easier to attach.
All right!
Trim the other two sides, if they need it, and the quilt will be ready for machine-quilting. Yahoo!
