It really wasnt bad. I do recommend spray basting though. The minky is stretchy and slick at the same time ... Like trying to wrestle a wet seal ... spray basting helped tame it.

The good news is that it slides wonderfully on the machine .... NO drag!!!!!

That is beautiful. I did a minky quilt a couple of years ago and my machine do not like it. Thanks for sharing.

I have brought minky over from the back for binding, but didn't like the way it looked - you could see through the fluffies - not sure if it was inferior minky or not, but ... didn't like it.

Great job. FYI, a cotton binding or double fold binding is so much easier than the satin binding for me. You might want to try it if you haven't tried it yet. I actually love doing bindings but can't work with the satin stuff

I've done at least a dozen quilts with minky backing on my longarm with no problems. It works best if you load it with the straight of grain (so with your selveges on the sides) but I've had customers bring me backing that I had to load "sideways" and it worked fine too. Just be careful to not tighten it too much and stretch it. It gives wonderful definition to your quilting. Jump in and try it!!

You made a beautiful quilt, using the minky was a great idea. It's been used on a few of my quilts and has worked really well. Gotta love how soft & comfy it is!

It must feel lucious!!!!

That is a very pretty Quilt.

Darling....

Awesome job!
