echoing everyone else - PIN THE HECK OUT OF IT!!!!

A walking foot would be great in addition to the pinning. The minkee is great after the project is done, but extremely messy. It sheds everywhere and into everything, especially your machine, so clean it out often.

DON"T iron directly on it!! put a sheet or something over it, use a lower setting, no steam. I backed a baby quilt with minkee and after the binding was on and the quilt completed, I went to iron it flat, and accidently touched the minkee with the iron, burned a hole in it. Had to patch it with a flower applique!

So, be careful!!!
