I have used minky as a backing on at least 8 baby quilts and have never had this problem. I use a lightweight cotton batting or dream angel in the request loft. I quilt on my Innova longarm and mainly use omni thread. I also quilted an oversized queen quilt. I had to piece the minky backing and it turned out great.

After reading these posts I know I'm not using minky for anything other than baby blankets. I did use it for the back of a baby quilt and it's fine but I do believe there are different kinds of minky also.

Karramarie! You are right about that. I have also used Minky on the back of other quilts without batting and have had no problems. This Minky, I bought on line and it is quite "fluffy". The other Minkies that I used were very short napped and closely woven. This is the problem with ordering on line. You just never know. Thank you for your comments.
