I also just did a quilt with minky and I had to do almost 1/2 seams because again it liked to slip no matter how many pins. Turned out great in the end. Please dont think I'm trying to discourge you at all just curious if your handing it different and I can learn from it. My daughter loves minky and so I'm not done dealing with it lol!! Thanks!
I have actually used Minky on a few different quilts, and find that using the basting spray (505) is the answer. I also use a teflon mat designed for FMQ and find that works well too. That part doesn't scare me.
I really appreciate all of your suggestions about large meandering, and the medium gray thread. It makes so much sense. I use gray all the time for piecing, but I keep thinking I need something that "matches" to do the quilting. Thanks so much everyone.
