Same with me Karamarie. I do minky backings quite often and don't do anything differently. I do free motion quilting with my Pfaff. I do pin basting and use Quilters Dream 80/20 batting. I recently used a new to me minky that resembles rosettes or swirls and I was a little concerned how that would go, but luckily no problems. I do use a large size top stitch needle which I use for most FMQ.
