Help! Advice for using minkee...
I'm getting ready to quilt a baby quilt, using minkee on the back (yes, glutton for punishment!). I've done it on a frame, but this is my first time just using DSM and many tables to hold the fabric up. I've used glue in the past to sandwich the quilt, but i don't think this will work with minkee. I would appreciate any thoughts on getting this into a sandwich so it stays flat so I don't get wrinkles in my quilting. Pin it to death? Any thoughts (as well as prayers that I don't throw the thing out the window) would be greatly appreciated. I'm very nervous about this...

sahm4605 - I will be using batting. The quilt is going to England and they like the extra weight for warmth. BellaBoo - what in the world is Misty Fuse (and where would I get it)? Boy, not a day goes by that I don't learn something new here!

I have used Minky to back several quilts and have not had any problems with it. I do FMQ on a DSM and always pin baste my quilts. Also use Quilters Dream cotton batting. I place my pins about a hand width apart starting in the middle. Maybe a few more just because. Good luck and don't be nervous
