RNK recommends it, not as a stabilizer, but as a fabric "prep", meaning it is not a true stabilizer because it will not hold embroidery stitches. It is intended to add body to the fibers to keep them from moving. But since you would be stippling or quilting the tshirts, could not see why you could not use it. It would be worth the try. It may not be cost effective, as a featherweight iron on interfacing would be less expensive....especially when you may have 20 to 50 tshirts squares that are sized up to 18 inches. And can use a coupon for Joann fabrics or find a deal at Walmart or Hobby Lobby.
I use most of the RNK/Floriani products and find them to be excellent. There are videos on their website about every one of their stabilizer/toppers/batting. Also on their new line of quilting products endorsed by Alex Anderson. (Love the bamboo batting and the wool batting)
