The quilt you see is a quilt as you go and I used 505 Basting Spray and also pinned the edges together as I sewed the seams. When I was making the bunny I just pinned alot and sewed fairly slow. I also used my walking foot and that seemed to help. It still is not perfect, because it is very slippery. If you search on this board for working with Minkee others may have better suggestions.


I do love it, but it can be a pain to work with. Its also important to have a vacuum close by!! It seems to shed all over the place!

Good Luck, Laura
