I also have the problem that most of the clothes are knits. Not much cotton to work with. I don't want to use anything in the quilt that was not his so I'm kind of stuck.

Anyone have any ideas?
Use a bonding stableizer and you will have no problems. Didn't when I made 4 mem. quilts and had all kinds of stretching problems,even with a walking foot.
