My Minky Tips

[@lavonnethompson117]

Thank you so much for the fuzzies education!

[@Joyfulstamper]

Glad it was helpful! If I'd know those tips before my first time using it, I wouldn't have sweated so much! 🙂

Do you use the glide thread in both the top and bobbin? Where do I find that thread? Thank you for your help.

can you back a larger quilt with minky by piecing the minky? how would you piece it?

[@Joyfulstamper]

I have done that twice. I stitched a 1/2" seam and used a pressing cloth to press the seam open.

HELP! Using Minky on back and my minky is pulling to the top in every stitch! I have tried just about everything and can't make it stop. Any advice?

[@Joyfulstamper]

This is what someone else recommended. I haven't tried it though. They use an extra layer of a thin piece like muslin between batting and minky.

Where did you find your rectangular magnetic dish and the colorful corsage pins?

[@Joyfulstamper]

The rectangular magnetic dish came from Aldi!!!! The pins are the ones sold by Grace - I got them at a Kathy Quilts booth at a quilt show.

[@bethvaught8984]

do you use cotton thread to quilt on the minky?

[@Joyfulstamper]

I use 40 wt Glide thread

Throw it in the dryer and it will seal the edges

[@Joyfulstamper]

Yes, I have heard that is what some do. That would be a lot more effort on my part with 2 sets of stairs between my sewing room and dryer. So much quicker & easier for me to detach my little vacuum hose!
