Minky Fabric is safe for babies but you should wash the Minky Fabric before giving it to a baby or allowing a baby to use the Minky Fabric.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends keeping soft objects and loose bedding out of the sleeping area for at least the first 12 months.

This recommendation is based on data around infant sleep deaths and guidelines for reducing the risk of SIDS.

The only difference between Minky and Cuddle fabric is the name.

Both Minky Fabric and Cuddle Fabric are the same fabrics.

Also both are types of materials.

Cuddle fabric is a micro-fiber plush fabric that is perfect for your ultra-soft and cuddly quilt, blanket, or cozy doll.

Soft Fleece Minky Fabric is available at IceFabric with heavyweight, permanency, and durability.

Minky fabric by the yard costs between $10.00 per yard to as much as $20.00 per yard.

Minky fabric is hard to sew unless you use the right techniques.

It can take some learning to get the proper techniques down to learn to sew the Minky Fabric but if you practice enough then the Minky Fabric can get easier to sew.

The reason Minky Fabric is so expensive is because of the quality of material used for the fabric to make the fabric feel so soft.

The most basic minky plush fabric is usually a simple solid and is generally available in a wide variety of colors.

This entry-level minky fabric can be priced from $10.00/yard to $20.00/yard at retail.

Minky fabric is a type of fleece.

It's 100% polyester, making it ideal for blankets, throw pillows and even quilt backing.

But how is Minky fabric different? Minky is softer and warmer than regular fleece.

Minky plush fabric really outshines fleece fabric when it comes to texture. Even the plain solid options are softer to the touch than fleece, but minky fabric is also available in several different embossed options, including rose, marble, embossed, etc.

There is no difference between cuddle and Minky fabric. Both are types of materials.

Cuddle fabric is a micro-fiber plush fabric that is perfect for your ultra-soft and cuddly quilt, blanket, or cozy doll. Soft Fleece Minky Fabric is available at IceFabric with heavyweight, permanency, and durability.

Can you put Minky fabric in the dryer?

If it's all minky, it's best to wash on gentle with cool water in the washing machine, then remove and throw it in the dryer on low heat.

Dry on low heat for about 10 minutes, then pull it out to hang dry.

Minky is made of 100% polyester fabric, much like fleece but only softer, bumpier, and thicker.

It keeps you warm because polyester is not a breathable kind of fabric.

Minky fabric is stretchable, does not shrink, and washing machine safe.

Their inherent softness makes it an ideal material for baby blankets.
