i have an elderly friend that was making quilts out of double knit years ago. so i helped her piece a couple, i also machine quilted a few on my old necchi. easy to piece, be careful of stretch just like you would for making clothing you want to fit correctly. her quilts were beautiful. the quilting less so . i agree w comments that poly double knit quilts would be perfect for homeless shelters, especially now that winter is so severe so early. they are very warm ..ask me how i know
