EllieGirl - You only use Minky when you want to "FEEL BAAAAAAD" Minky was made by someone who DOESN'T sew! I have found that if you put the Minky on "TOP", for sewing. So the bottom becomes the top for sewing - helps. I have also spray basted Minky to inner-facing (like you would use for a T-shirt quilt), then put on the backing (but I still sewed together with the Minky on top). Good luck
