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.
Thank you for that! Piecing the batting with stitching is the part of quilting that I HATE, so your suggestion is much appreciated!
