I use minke on th back of my baby quilts. I have also made teddy bears out of it. A few tips:
1. Use a walking foot if sewing pieces together
2. Try not to pull on it too much because it tends to stretch
3. When laying out the quilt layers tape the minke down very well to avoid bunching.
4. Use more safety pins than usual with pin basting. This helps keep the minke in place while quilting.
5. Have patience and take you time!
I have worked successfully with minke over the past 5 years. The first time I used it, it was a nightmare! I love the feel of it so I tried again! I use a standard 1/4" seam allowance.
