I have sewn with Minkee...it looked like I was wearing it when I finished! Lint was everywhere. I found that I needed to pin and pin and pin and pin. I have heard of some people using a light fusible interfacing on the wrong side to 'stabalize' it. It does stretch. I am sure this sounds like I am advising against it but I am not. I love the finished product and them hassle of working with it is worth it to me. In fact, I have a minkee throw to make on my agenda for this summer.
