I've made several scarves, i.e., for Christmas a couple of years ago
and then this past winter, and they all roll at the edges so they're
fiddly to deal with. Any nonp-sewing but perhaps cutting tips on
preventing edges on cut fleece from rolling?

Thanks!

I bought from a quality sewing store, so it's not the store. How to
tell then if fleece is good quality or not?

Thanks!

You need to get something like Polar Fleece from Malden Mills. They have a
web page. IF you do a google you'll find it. It's great stuff. After using
it I wouldn't buy anything else.LEarned my leson. It's worth the price.
www.Fabric.com may havve it. Make sure it's labeled either Malden Mills or
Polar Fleece.

Polartec by Malden Mills. They have a web site or any OUTDOORS fabric
retailers will carry it.

Quality store doesn't automatically mean it's quality fleece. If
it doesn't say Malden, don't buy it.

gabrielle, who also learned that lesson the hard way.
