Question Quilting Minkie (Minky?)

I have been asked by a friend to quilt a couple of baby quilts for her, on my new long arm. She understands that I'm new at this (I've had the machine for 1.5 weeks) but wants me to try anyway, after seeing my first couple of sample quilts.

Anyway, one quilt has minkie for the backing. I've never worked with this before - is it hard to manage? She said that her usual long arm quilter won't touch it - but I wonder if that's because it is hard to quilt, or if she has an attitute of "I only work with cotton". Any suggestions? I told her I would try a small sample, and if it didn't work out I'd let her know.
