I have used minky on many of my chemo quilts and had very good luck with it. I lay it out very smooth and tape it with duct tape or clip it to the edges of my table. Then smooth out the very lightweight batting (I have done with and without successfully) and then the top. Starting in the middle I pin the top and smooth it out as I pin the rest about every four inches. I've done straight line and swirly stuff and never had a problem. I will say that it is really important to use the real thing as far as minky goes. Right now I am using a throw blanket I bought at Walmart as my backing and will never do this again. It does not slide well under the machine and has been a real struggle. Real minky moves much better.
