I backed a quilt with minkee and have had a real headache with it. I can't get it feed evenly even with a walking foot. I ended up tying the quilt (there is no batting in it).
Do you think it would be okay to sew the binding by machine only to the front then hand stitch it to the back?
You guys are so smart and have always helped me so thanks in advance for ay help you can give.

a trick that I do is put paper over the minkee so the feed dogs don't pull on it. I think that is easy to put binding on that way. I love minkee and you just have to take your time with it. :)
