Blah to sewing through the Heat N Bond--did that once and needle kept gumming up and very stiff. I've made about 25 t-shirt quilts (working on one right now) and I prefer the 54" wide StayFlex (its a woven stabilizer that is used in tailored clothing--it comes in 20" wide too) or my 2nd choice is FlexFuse (I've also heard it referred to as French Fuse) it's a 20" wide woven stabilizer that is a knit, so it does stretch in one direction. Both of these are light and easy to use (especially the StayFlex). 3rd choice is a Pellon 311F or 309F--but I think they are heavier and only come in 20" widths. Good luck!
