When Minky (Minkee - two spellings, same product) has been mentioned in posts some of you have asked about what it is and how difficult is it to sew with. Here is a tutorial that is a simple blanket (Minky and cotton sewn back to back and then turned and top-stitched) that should answer some of those questions.

From experience in using Minky as backing fabric for three quilts, it is well worth the effort. The quilts were all long armed quilted and the long armer said they are easy to quilt. I did experience the slippery, slidey part of the Minky when putting the binding on the finished quilt. But, the quilts are superbly soft and cuddly.
