how to quilt a t-shirt quilt
I need information on quilting a t-shirt quilt.

I'm probably not much help. I quilted mine on my longarm win a loose meander.

Since you didn't list specifics as to what you're looking for as far as far as quilting the t-shirt quilt, I'm assuming you're just looking for tips. My best suggestion is to put "t-shirt quilt" in the search box here. It's been discussed a lot lately, and there's a plethora of information here on the forum in different posts. Good luck!

Use a batting that allows a lot of space between quilting lines, ( like warm & natural allows up to 10" - there are others too)
Use a New, Sharp needle in the size appropriate for the thread weight. Lengthen your stitch length a little bit. Choose a large, open design that allows you to go around the rubbery, decal areas |
If you choose to quilt through some of the rubbery decal areas - go slowly - the decal has a tendency to grab the needle and thread.

T-shirt quilts are very heavy. If you are going to use a dm you may want to use a quilt as you go method.
