What brand/type of stabilizer do you use? I made a t-shirt quilt and hated it since everything stretched out so much and was a pain. Obviously someone thought of a way to fix that, and I've had people ask about me making them t-shirt quilts, so the stabilizer would really really help.
Thanks
I actually bought a bolt of lightwieght fusible stabilizer at Joanns,cuz she suggested 7 yards to make the quilt.I do believe it was Pellon,plus I had 40% off coupon .What we did in class is to put the shirt on the "sticky" side and the placed a very wet cloth on top of the logo and "pressed" not iron until the wet cloth was completely dry.what I used for my wet cloth was the back part of one of the t shirts.it worked really well,but is very time consuming.I had already cut out my logos to the size that I wanted,but you actually are not suppose to cut until the stabilizer on fused to the shirt because of the stretching,I was very lucky
