yes, I would fuse the fleece first and leave a cut out where you want to put in the zipper, I wouldn’t cut back too much but a 1/4″ barrier around the zipper is probably fine. You don’t need any fleece where the zipper tape will be because the zipper tape is usually a little stiff and will provide some stability on it’s own. I definitely think you’re on the right track! good luck!
