I sewed Minky once to make some simple billow cover to hold egg crate foam for a friend who is permanently in a wheelchair. I worked for hours and the fabric kept shifting on me constantly. I would NEVER want to touch the stuff again. If you want to back the quilt and you are going to use a DSM, I would stitch from the back and keep the Minky right side up otherwise it will shift on you. Good Luck !!
