I have also, been looking for St. Louis University Billikens fleece fabric. I was at Hancock Fabrics and asked if they would be carrying SLU fleece fabric. They told me that there is no SLU fleece fabric. They said that before a manufacture will design and make a new fleece fabric, they must be guaranteed an order of 300 yards of this material. The employee at Hancock Fabrics stated that most likely there would not be a SLU fleece fabric made anytime soon. They said that usually they only make large State University fabrics. -- O'Fallon, MO

Not as a general rule. When sewing, I usually use a 'sharp' needle . . . that is, a needle with a sharp point. When doing cross stitch, ( depending on the fabric of the cross stitch piece ) I use a ball point needle. If the fabric is an even-weave, like aida cloth, I use a chenille needle.

Your question doesn't state whether this is part of the pattern instructions, but I am assuming it calls for flat-lining prior to assembling any of the pieces.
