I just tried to use it and had problems with it leaving fuzzies on the front of the quilt through the needle holes. I did not have any batting in the sandwich, only a single layer of muslin to keep the red minkee from showing through to the white parts on the front. I was so unhappy with it, I ripped it out and used a cotton backing with batting instead. I've used fleece as backing with no problems, I didn't expect any with the Minkee. Might try it again with batting to see if that's any different. Otherwise, I won't do that again.
