Minkee is polyester, so it either melted a bit or the heat 'reset' the texture.

Excuse me for asking but WHY would somebody iron Minkee? I've made sev Minkee blankets but never felt the need to iron them. Am I missing something?

It will not come back because it is polyester. Been there done that when I was trying to experiment with it.

Sorry, the dots are permanently flat. When anyone starts to quilt with something beside 100% cotton, you have to be so careful with the iron.
