When you have an available 40% off coupon, you can get yards of this for about $.60 per yard. Great stuff to have around.

I also use the light weight fusable interfacing as a stabilizer for t-shirt quilts - iron a piece bigger than what your final square will be, then trim shirt and fusable to the correct size.
I have shared the fusible interfacing solution with many quilters since I learned it - - from you, Shelley? - - anyway, it is so superior to the stitching method in my experience that I highly recommend it.
