fluffy fabric - up or down?

I am planning to make a baby blanket that is flanelette on one side and a super fluffy chenille on the other.  When I flip the blanket right side out to top stitch should I have the fluffy side up or down?  I am thinking up because if down it would get caught up in the feed dogs?

I made a baby blanket with this before and didn't mess with it. I just shook it out after turning and fed it through my machine without laying the fluff one way or another. I think the top-stitching was hidden better that way.

Do you have a walking foot, or does a friend? It would really help in this situation. In that case I would put minky UP with a walking foot.

Otherwise, I would put the minke DOWN so that it feeds more evenly. Just do a test piece first to make sure it doesn't shred it, crush it or mark it up.

definitely agree with the last comment. a walking foot it a great tool to have when working with fluffy blanket stuff, whether it be chenille, minky, etc.

you generally would want the fluffiest down if you are NOT using a walking foot because the feed dogs will have something to grab on too. so it will feed more evenly. you have to be really careful about sewing these types of materials because they will stretch and be slippery at the same time, which can make everything come out wonky in the end!! a walking foot is your friend here and you can get a generic one at joanns/hancocks for under $20 with a coupon/sale..
