I've used minkee on a lot of quilt backs- after quilting I stitch a running stitch all the way around the outer edge of the quilt (if I don't already have one from stabilizing the quilt when quilted) then I trim the minkee fairly close to the stitching. sew the binding to the front- using a bit wider than I normally do - 2 1/2"- 2 3/4"- depending on thickness of the quilt & if I used batting too--- then when I fold it over the excess bulk from the minkee has been trimmed away so the binding lays flat/smooth (it is still full- with top & batting) works for me...
