I am grateful,too, for all this helpful info since I have a couple of these to make. I bookmarked your page, Barb. Thanks for sharing.

ah yes, gotta love the tshirts, just use a light fusible interfacing, THEN cut to size, easier that way, may be more waste with interfacing, but its not really expensive.
good luck katz |
I've been using what is called fashion fuse. Real light and works well.
|
I just used Pellon EK-130 which is a light stabilizer recommended to me. Seemed to work well. Last one I made, I used a stabilizer that was too thick/heavy. made quilting very difficult. I also used sashing that was too wide. Won't make that mistake again.
I have 80 shirts cut and fused already. I want 98 before I start. I am making 2 quilts (one for each son) and the blocks are 9" finished. |
Is there a difference between fusable stablizer and Heat n Bond? If so what? I am attempting my first quilt, machine, and some of my appliques will be from T-shirt material. Only in the getting everything I need stage-this includes-knowing how :)

My dad's name is Kearney. I've never seen the name anywhere before just now. :) |
I made my daughter's using 12 inch blocks. I also used some of the backs of her shirts when they had good info on them.

I am in the process of making one now for my DSIL who runs Marathons. I used Lighweight Tricot stablizer. The pattern I finally decided to do was ninepatch alternating with snowball blocks. I had originally thought of triple irish chain, but ninepatch and snowball were so much easier, and the blocks are 12.5". I am currently quilting it, so I will post it when finished.
