Thanks for the link. So far, I have only made a baby quilt with a minkee back that I quilted on my LA. It went well.

I wonder if tying isn't a better solution - puffy and soft, no worries about bunching and puckering the stuff.

I just received two minky swatches from fabricdotcom and they are so slippery and easily put out of shape, plus one swatch has the big fold crease right down the middle....If I can't get the crease ironed out or washed out I may chicken out and go with the cheap blankety acrylic stuff I bought at Joanne's...limited stretch, no creases, 60: wide. Just doen't feel as nice!
