And if you use spray basting the minky will not move around as much. I'd never consider using minky with pin basting.

minky is a fabric, used mainly in baby quilts, i would think. beautiful and ohhh sooo soft.

she just was thinking of using it for binding..which is something that would be tricky, because of the stretchy attributes of it..

I did a baby blanket with a cotton top, warm and natural batting and minkey backing. I used scraps left over from the top to make the binding so it was all 100% cotton and it worked fine, but I did put strips of tissue paper (the wrapping presants kind) between my quilt backing and the feed dogs while sewing the binding on (I didn't have a walking foot at the time) and nothing stretched or distorted.

Tissue paper is a good idea. I might have to try that. Thank you all so much for the help.
