I think the key is to sew your minky on to a different type of fabric. My last project involved making minky flowers. I cut 2 flower shapes and then had to sew the pieces together right sides together. It was a mess! I tried using lots of pins (I always do) and finally hand basted it before sewing on my machine and it still slipped. Grrrr.... I may try some more flowers with a different fabric on the back. Thanks for the tut.
