-The holes are like 1 inch slits, I wonder if I squeeze the hole closed, then iron on some interfacing to it, then when I quilt it make sure to go over the holes very well, do you think it will hold well hopefully? My friend only has enough t-shirts of this theme for the quilt so I need to use all the shirts, so I just need to brainstorm a way to fix them Thanks all
Yes, I think this could work well with slits. Maybe zigzag over the slit after it is stabilized, with matching thread?
