Soft baby blankets, warm fuzzy garments, and the cuddliest quilt backs are all made with Minkee! You'll find Minkee is fun and easy to work with after you learn a few tips:

• Use a walking foot to prevent slippage.
• When sewing Minkee to another fabric, place the Minkee on the bottom.
• Pin the edges at 1 1/2" intervals.
• Trim the selvage edge.
• Note that Minkee stretches on the width, but is stable parallel to the selvage edge. If you're sewing right angles, start with the side that runs parallel to the selvage.
• If you're piecing Minkee, be aware of the direction of the nap on the soft, textured side when cutting. Depending on the project, you may want your nap to all smooth out in the same direction, for example in a garment; or you may not mind if they are random as in a pieced quilt. The choice is yours!
