This is a minky throw made of flannel owl fabric on the top and brown minky on the bottom. I put a boarder of minky around the owl fabric. Minky is not my favorite to sew. Here are my tips:
- Prewash the flannel - it shrinks a ton.
- Lay minky on the bottom and pin flannel to the minky - really good - lots of pins.
- Use a walking foot and reduce the foot pressure and increase stitch length
- I have also read where people use basting spray to keep the fabrics from shifting.
If you don't like the selection of Minky at Beverly's (don't buy it at Joann's) I like to order from minkydelight.com.
Minky is the fabric of choice among my kids! I keep the scraps in a drawer and they play with them all the time.
It looks so soft! I'd love to wrap up in it with a good book!!
