At a shop I was in recently I asked about minky. She said she would spray baste AND pin. She's only done it on the longarm but said some customers have done it on home machines and it's a challenge.

i just did 2 baby quilts with the minky for backing..and i used a stablizer..an iron on woven one..(look like a light weight muslin) i was pleased with how it handled. first time using minky..

i pinned it and then lightly quilted it..i don't care for the way it looks on the back..at all. it did not shift on me..used a walking foot..
when i checked out my grandsons blanky, his is NOT quilted at all.. or tied for that matter..just the satin blanket edging..it is 3 years old..and it is still holding together..(no batting in the middle) i am not sure how big it is, but i would guess, 40" x 40".

I only used Minkee for backing a twin size quilt on my B-Line frame. I quilted beautifully doing a panto edge-to-edge pattern. If I were piecing with it or quilting on a domestic I would spray baste and then pin pin pin and pin some more. Walking foot is a must.
