quilting on minky
#11
The good news is that it slides wonderfully on the machine .... NO drag!!!!!

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!!
