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.
