I have my stuff all ready to go. My DIL wants a memory quilt that includes a few t-shirts. I know I have read on here about using a stabilizer ironed on. What specifically should I get? There are so many different choices out there and all it does is leave me not wanting to even start the project.

I have made several t-shirt quilts. I stabilize the t-shirts before cutting them with the cheapest iron-on interfacing I can find ($.99 per yard at JoAnn's.I use a 50 or 60% coupon and buy it a bolt at a time.) Works for me. Hope this helps.

I used the Pellon for sheer to lightweight 906F. T-shirts are heavy and you don't want to add any additional weight to the quilt. Iron on to the inside of the front of the t-shirt and then cut.

Yep, I use what Grammasue said, I've done 3 so far and all turned out great!

Definitely Pellon 906F. I've made dozens of t-shirt quilts and it's all I use. Works great.

Make sure the tees are 100% cotton (exclusive of decoration) to ensure the best bond with Pellon 906f.

Sulky Soft 'n Sheer Extra a little bit thicker, but it bonds better with poly/cotton blends in my experience & I think it gives a more natural look to the bonded fabric -- more like a regular cotton fabric. It bonds at a lower temp so it's safer for the vinyl decals, too -- but it is more expensive. Either way, remember not to starch/size your fabric after you pre-wash it as that affects the bonding process (ask me how I know).
