I can't answer that but hopefully someone else can. I would also be interested before I use Minky again so I can avoid the problem.

I just completed this bookcase quilt for my daughter who is an avid reader. She requested the Minky backing which had me intimidated at first. It turned out to be easier than I anticipated and I really like the end result The only issue is the ruffled edges - which didn't occur until I put on the binding. If anyone has an idea of how to minimize the ruffles at this point, I would greatly appreciate your advice.
I lay the binding on just before I will sew it, give it a tug, press down with my fingers and hold it down as it goes through the needle. That really gets rid of waves at the edges.

Congratulations and well done. On the subject of wavy edges, I always sew a 1/4 " row around my Quilt when I've finished quilting the main part of the quilt. I don't seem to have any trouble with my quilts laying flat. I was taught this by my first quilt teacher.
