Oh boy! I thought I had this all figured out. I want to make 4 small/lap quilts for my adult kids for Christmas. I got Minkee at least 2 years ago for it and never got them made. Well, I scoured the QB for info about sewing with Minky and got fabric for the fronts.....various panels with different themes and decided not to use batting. I figured that I needed to do some kind of quilting to hold the 2 layers together and got it that you sew with the Minkee on the bottom and with a walking foot. I wasn't going to try much fm quilting (too new to it), just more or less in the ditch of the seams. center panel and side panels, and maybe try some simple designs in the large panels to hold it together.
AlienQuilter, when you say Minkee with pieced top, no shifting.....did you do any quilting on it? These will be about 55x60, unless I decide to make them narrower, maybe 48x60. What to do???
