Well, Karen, golly! You don't say if you're making an appliqué of a 2" round teddy bear face or a crib size quilt. Anyhow - for the quilt, I'd use masking tape *outside* of the stitching line to keep it from stretching as I stitched. For a wee appliqué I guess I'd mash (not press/iron) its wrong side to something stabilizing and wash-away like Floriana Wet N Gone. Polly
Oh. oopsÉ..lol I want to use this minkee as the backing for a baby quilt.

Polly has it right with the masking tape and I'd add using a walking foot so it feeds thru the machine without stretching the Minkee. (Wish I'd thought of masking tape when I sewed with Minkee.) And it's worth the extra effort- I used it to back a snuggle quilt for mom when she had chemo. It was yummy!

Minkee is so soothing to teething babies, balding chemos and skinny old biddys whose Yorkies want to 'go' in freezing sleet at 4 am. I found a terribly pricey minkee bathrobe slightly damaged at a fire sale. It improves even my disposition. Minkee doesn't really 'shed' but the cutting of it does cause a heap of snips to clean up. I've found that a balled up wad of minkee scraps will grab the loose fur clean and quick. Polly

What I am looking for is a way to make the minkee lay still while I layer the batting and the quilt top over it, and thread-baste the layers together before quilting.
