I've been sewing baby quilts/ comforters with Minkee backing. I piece the top, thin layer of polyester backing then the Minkee use a walking foot with 1/2" seam. Leave an opening for turning to right side. Flip inside out then slip stitch opening closed. I find it's better to have a narrow border around the piecing to help stabilize when sewing. Use perle cotton or embroidery thread (whichever I have at hand, matches or want to use up!) to tie and it's done Talk about fuzz: my friends are well-accustomed to seeing me with threads all over, but I was a sight to see after sewing one of these with black exercise pants on!
