As a favor for a friend, I quilted a baby blanket she had backed with minky. I have a longarm but no frame. I found the fabric hard to deal with and was glad I got to practice a bit before I went with minky myself. I wouldn't chose minky for a backing again because it was so stretchy, It puckered a bit on the back side and I'm not sure the 505 adhesive we used really took. We used minky for the binding and machine stitched it on. Glad that project is overwith and I probably won't do that again!
