Using Minkie as backing
Has anyone used Minkie for backing on quilt. I quilt my quilts on my regular sewing machine. I was wondering if it is easy to use. I have used fleece and flannel but minkie is so soft. Thanks ahead of time for any advice.

I use it all the time, but if you use basting spray wash asap. Basting spray bleeds onto the back and makes it sticky, no big deal...a quick wash is all you need. I love it so soft and warm. go for it...

I made a baby quilt out of minke. It was different colored squares. I just outlined each square on the inside (I know there is a name for it but I can't think of it right now) about 1/4 inch from the seam of each square. Sorry, I didn't take a picture and already gave it to my niece. I didn't use batting, just backing that was minke also. I loved it and she did too. It sewed very well and I had no problems. Minke is so thick that the outlining showed well.
