Any tips on how to get through this fabric easily and not gunk up the needle? Thanks

I have bought it in 90 wide at several places.

I round my corners to make it easy to serge. I sew with right sides together and leave a space to turn inside out. I’ve made 5 or 6 blankets this way. I don’t do much for quilting on the blanket once it is serged. But always use a walking foot with the longest stitch.

What size needle and type of thread would you recommend; also would you use a long basting stitch to sew it together with?

I treasure these but I do not use table clothes any more. I do not want to cut them up to make into something else. Could they be made into quilts? Where can I get ideas?

Dear Jan,

Thank you for your patience. In response to your question-

I believe Minky fabric only comes in the standard 56-60″ width.

Cheers,

I want to use minky to back a dbl bed quilt. How wide can I find minky material to avoid too many seams in backing? Do you recommend an online fabric supplier I will be satisfied with quality etc?
