    Minkee (Minky) Sewing

    I know that the topic of quilting with Minkee has been discussed many times on here. Well, I found this site while looking at another, then another, then another site... I'm sure get the point and understand. She has done the most amazing Minkee (minky) quilts I have ever seen. She also, gives some advice and help when using it. She also, has some other tutorials for other things, in case you are interested. www.bunkhousequilts.blogspot.com/2013/03/is-it-minky.html. Hope this helps someone, besides myself as those cold winter days are just around the corner.

    Thank you for sharing this informative blog. I really enjoyed reading and seeing the awesome quilts and might even try quilting on minky again.

    Thanks for the post. After my first attempt with sewing with Minkee, I doubt if I will ever buy that fabric again, just so stretchy.

    I have avoided sewing with Minky, not only because of the "stretch" factor but also because of it's shedding. This is a good article, and I have saved it. Doesn't deal with the shedding though....anybody else have a solution to help with this?
