Well Minky would not be my first choice for a first FMQ. It is difficult - but not impossible to worl with.
I think you have two things going:
1. Minky is not a fabric that slides easily. The cure would to use something slippery like a teflon sheet taped down. Search the board for Supreme Slider and you will know what Inmean.
2. The weight of that quilt iscalso holding it back from going through smoothly. You need to find tables, ironing boards, etc. to take most of thevweight while you are working on an area.
3. The quilt is beautiful and will be well worth your efforts,
