Default Need advice/suggestions!
I have taken on a project of making "memory quilts" from my husband's grandparents clothes. Since I have to make seven, I'm going to do lap quilts. I was able to get some sweatshirts, jeans, and two or three t-shirts. I have a few questions... Hopefully you can help!!! 1- Do I need "heavy duty" needles for the denim? (Levi's) And if so, won't the heavy duty needles leave "holes" in the t-shirts? 2- Since the clothing used will vary in weight, will the t-shirts need backing? I looked on various websites, a couple say to use a backing and a couple say it's not needed.

Fabric will have to be incorporated into the quilts due to making seven.
I'm really excited and nervous to make these. I've made a few quilts, but none with the weight difference, or even block size difference. If you have any suggestions / advice, I'm all ears.
