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.
