    If you please? When using Minky for a back when pinning to the leader cloths would you pin the salvage edge? Since minky is so stretchy I want to make sure I pin it on correctly. I would think the stretchy side will be pinned to the leaders, so when it is rolled the straight of grain(most stable) less streching would occur. And do most of you put a row of staystitching on the not salage side? I would really appreciate your help.

    According to the experts I go to, pin the selvedges to the leaders and be sure to not stretch it too much with the side clamps. As for staystitching the "not selvedge sides, I don't know but it sounds reasonable.

    I pin the selvedges to the leaders, but I don't staystitch.
