minky for backing of baby quilt...
I finished the quilting on the baby quilt that I am making with a pieced cotton top and Minky for the backing. This is the first time I am using Minky for the back of a quilt and it was not to bad quilting, I just did a stippling all over, what I did learn is that you have to do real big stippling or it gets kind of stiff... It was a little hard to push around under the needle but I got it done...
The question is what would use to bind the quilt, would you use cotton or the minky....I never used minky for a binding...dont know if you have to fold it over like cotton or just sew it on and cut it off like polor fleece.. thanks for any advice.. ... |
I am glad you had better luck with quilting with Minky than I did. I would stick with cotton because the Minky might be too bulky and stretchy for binding. Never tried it before.

I would not use minky for the binding. I've used the cotton for binding on my minky back quilts and it looks great! I think the minky would be too hard to work with.

Thanks ladies I'm off to bind my quilt ...I'll post some pictures of the quilt when it is done...i think it can out pretty good so far... LOL

Actually, if you haven't bound the quilt yet, I would suggest you buy the packaged satin binding and use it to bind the quilt. Babies love the satin edges!
