Best Notion for Sewing with Minky Fabrics

Shannon Fabrics is our number one supplier of Minky Fabric, and we wanted to share with you the best notions that will help you make your minky sewing a success.  I love the softness of the fabric but it is definitely different from quilting cotton to sew with.  We want you to find success with our kits and projects with the minky fabrics.

Our Favorite Cuddle® Sewing Tools & Notions 

• Clover Wonder Clips and Jumbo Wonder Clips - holds binding in position and a keeps multiple layers together in addition to pins

• Clover Heavyweight Flower Head Pins - sharp and strong pins that hold the fabrics in place and lets the foot slide over the head

• Clover Medium-weight Flower Head Pins - sharp pins that are perfect for two layers on minky and let the foot slide over the head

• Mettler Metrosene 100% Polyester Thread, or any 100% polyester thread.   - polyester thread has the stretch and strength needed for seams and top-stitching

• Karen Kay Buckley Micro-serrated Scissors - the tiny serrations grab the Luxe Cuddle® backing to cut easier and more accurately

• 45mm Rotary Cutter - ideal for cutting the Cuddle® 3 solids and prints

• OLFA SAC-1 Craft knife -slices the backing easily to reduce cutting microfibers, creating much less mess

• Felt tip marker - great for marking measurements and cutting lines on back of the minky

• ByAnnie Precision Stiletto & Pressing Tool - use this to hold the fabrics in position while sewing & fluffing the seam edges after

• SCHMETZ 90/14 Stretch Needles - prevents skipped stitches & sews strong seams and top-stitching

• ODIF 505 Spray - holds together fabric layers for blankets, strip quilts, applique and embroidery
