Minky on queen or king quilt
I am wondering if anyone has attempted to use Minky as backing on king or queen quilts? I have just completed my first twin size minky backed and had no problems at all. Just wondering if problems will pop up on a larger quilt.

Other then being heavy to get through a regular machine, if you had no trouble with the twin I would think you would be able to go bigger. For me it would make my shoulders ache due to the weight.
|
Can you buy the Minky wide enough without having to seam it? I'd love to make a bigger quilt with Minky too
|
It is available 90 inches wide. Not sure if it is Minky brand or possibly Cuddle.

at Guild the presenter had king size that was long armed with Minky--said it was very snuggley--I was one that helped hold quilts and can tell you it was heavy!

Yes, I will be long arming it... and yes, you can buy minky 90" wide, however on my twin, I did not buy it long enough and had to piece it and it was not an issue.

You are very lucky then because the original Minkee was very stretchy like a knit. I was in JAF and noticed they are selling stuff they call Minkee and it wasn't anything like what I bought over 10 years ago.

I've quilted dozens of queen sized quilts with minkie backing. Minkie is a favorite choice from my family. I've never had any problems associated with using minkie.
