Minky Backing
I am thinking of doing this on a few baby quilts. I have used minky on baby quilts the only issue I has is when I laid it out to pin you need to be careful as it stretches and can go wonky if not careful. I am a hand quilter and did not have any problems quilting it and I did use batting with it. I didn't do anything different with my binding strips, I use 2.5" strips and just cut everything even and attached the binding as usual. I love the feel of minky, so soft and it seems to wash well, I wash all my quilts before I gift them and I didn't have any problems. Minky is polyester and not cotton so it will not shrink.
Any helpful tips and tricks?
Do you still use a batting?
Do you find with quilting cotton or cut the minky large and bind with the backing?
