i think telling ppl who are very new to sewing to use minky for a project when they wanna make stuffed animals is kind of evil. and not just because i hate minky although i do but because like. i know that a lot of ppl will say u should start out with something simple like a bag or something and like when you want tomake stuffed animals that sucks. so u look for a beginner plush making pattern and they tell u minky is very forgiving with shape because it can stretch and thats true! minky is very good with the stretch. however. the stretch makes it god awful to pin AND sew because the needle has tobe as sharp as possible to not get caught on the threads and the fabric WILL SHIFT no matter how many fucking pins you put in it. and its just going to make them frustrated and feel like theyre bad at sewing. BUT THEYRE NOT. MINKY IS JUST THE DEVILS FABRIC
