however you quilt the dimpled Minkee..some of the dimples will be smushed. (how is that for a strictly techincal term??) Regular Minkee just shows the quilting design kind of embossed. The stitches nestle down into the fabric. If she has never used it before, she needs to know not to tighten it. I can have a big of a sag...you dont' want to bounce a coin for sure! I have used it with success...I was just very careful as I rolled the quilt not to stretch it.
