Frequently Asked Questions About Minky Fabric by the Yard
Following are some of the commonly asked questions about minky fabric by the yard. Please let us know if you need additional information on Cuddle minky fabric or any of our products.
What Is Minky Fabric Made Of?
Minky fabric is a soft and plush type of fabric that's often used for baby blankets, clothing and other cozy items. It's made from 100% polyester fibers, which give minky blanket fabric its characteristic silky soft feel and slight stretch. The high-quality polyester used in minky fabric provides durability and resistance to wrinkles, ensuring its popularity for many sewing projects. Additionally, the fabric often has a raised, textured surface, resembling patterns like dots, stars or animal prints, adding to its tactile appeal.
How to Sew Minky Fabric
When sewing with minky fabric, start by pre-washing. Lay minky flat for cutting, using rotary cutters and securing with pattern weights or pins. Due to its slippery nature, pin generously or use wonder clips. When sewing on your machine, choose a stretch needle, polyester thread and walking foot for even feeding and use a longer stitch length (around 3 or 3.5). Avoid pulling the fabric, handle minimally to prevent stretching and use a low iron setting with a pressing cloth if needed. Finish by cleaning stray minky fibers with a lint roller and washing the finished project in cold water on a gentle cycle, tumble drying on low.
