what's the trick to sewing fleece?
I'm trying to make fleece scarves for a co-worker's daughters' cheer team.
my machine is dropping stitches like they are hot! I can't get more than an inch sewn before it drops stitches.and I'm not talking 1 or 2, its about a whole bunch before I realize none have caught. I have 3 strips of fleece and using poly thread. I have tension @ ~1 (dial goes from 0 -9) and the stitch length is on the long side.
I have no idea what to do 
I don't want to give up on this project, this co-worker does so much for my pups!

Re: what's the trick to sewing fleece?
A universal point needle, size 11 or 12 should work for most fleece. Some Polartec fleece (specifies) heavier though.
You should change needles when starting a new project, and some fabrics (fleece included) dull needles quickly and may need to be changed more frequently.
