Minky
I got a strip kit of minky at the road 2 ca show, but have never sewed on minky, should i used a special foot to piece it together. I have a roller foot that i could use, just asking those who have experience with minky

a longer stitch length- a stretch (round point) needle- i've always used my regular foot- but if you are someone who does well with your walking foot you might want to use it- a little wider seam allowance (i use a 3/8"- just under 1/2")
it is a polyester knit- and does have stretch so you want to smooth-not stretch it out of shape....which is why some people use lots of pins.

I just finshed a quilt with minky. I used my walking foot. Got as close to 1/4 inch seam, lots of pins n ironed seams open. I made a mistake tho, I had the raised dot minky and when I ironed I ironed the raised dots flat....oh well just more texture now in the quilt. I wasn't thinking lol.
