I was taught this method for the LA and it works: to load the minkee type fabrics with the stretch at the top and bottom - selvedges on the sides, this is the most forgiving way to load it.

I made a baby quilt with the minkee and washed it before gifting to remove any sizing on the fabrics. It came out beautifully.

I used one envelope style and tied and it worked great!

I have used minkee on the back of two children's quilts and without problems. I spray basted and stitched in the ditch for quilting.

I'm using minkee as backing (no batting) for a baby quilt right now. The center is a panel and along with adding several strips around it, I am sewing (zigzag) chenille yarn on the border lines of the panel. Initially I attached the backing to the quilt with spray adhesive. Everything is flat and I am having no problem with sewing the three simultaneously.

I am currently finishing up a combination cotton and minkee quilt that I put minkee on the back. I love the way minkee feels and looks. I HATE sewing with it. That said, those of you who've backed with the minkee, did you bind with it? How much trouble am I going to have with that?
Thanks!

I use the fleece as a backing frequently. No batting, pin like crazy but then only tack the quilt so it doesn't pucker.

Love the results!

I use the soft, minky type blankets from Costco. (Also picked some up at Targets midnight special) I can do the whole back of the quilt for under $30.00. I learned when I pin my quilts, pin a few extra (dont go overboard, just a few) and I dont take the pins out until after I have the binding on. I do ALL my quilts, from Lap to King this way and after the 2nd quilt I have not had a big problem. Good luck andbest part is the snuggling in the new blanket.

I have used a long arm on two quilts, throw size, with top and fleese backing, no middle layer. They were for local college teams and I had no problems, just basted around edges first. I think both of them will be used and see a lot of games.

with the minkee type fabric - smooth and pin with a few more pins than usual - SID from the center out N,S,E,W and then from center(ish) to corners......smooth as you go, over and over....the results are worth it, really cuddly quilt.

I have used fleece, no problems
