    It is a thin stretch velour, I sewed with it years ago in stretch-n-sew. Just a new name and added texture in some cases.

    What exactly IS minky?
    A fabric produced and marketed by textile mills in order to make quilters and crafters appreciate any 100% cotton fabric - no matter the quality.

    I love it. It is hard to work with on a domestic machine, but I just pieced a minky quilt on my longarm then quilted it. It's beautiful and you don't have to worry as much about stretching. I pin the selvages to my leaders and just take care in not tightening it to much. It's my favorite quilt yet and iplan to back a lot of quilts with minky now
