    Default One more ? for today......

    I am going to use minky fabric for the first time for a backing on this quilt for my GS1.

    I have always sewn my binding on the front and hand sewn onto the back.....do you increase the size of your binding for the bulk of the minky fabric?

    Thanks AGAIN,
    Tonya

    I have quilted several minky-backed quilts and I have not increased the width of the binding. I cut 2 1/2 inch strips, but I sew to the back and then bring it around and sew to the front , all by machine. The minky does not really add a lot of bulk.
