Stabilizer for tshirts
 
Those of you who have made t-shirt quilts, what stabilizer for the shirts do you like best? I'm about to make my first of these so need opinions on the lightest weight one to use before I buy. Thanks for help.

I use Pellon fusible 906F for sheer to lightweight fabrics. I bought a bolt of it when on sale at JAF. I use it to attach smaller pieces of batting too.

I used the Pellon featherweight fusible too...and also bought a bolt with coupons at JoAnns. Worked great.....but be careful when you are ironing on the back of logos and decals that are "plastic" like...make sure to have something covering your ironing board.

I used to use only Tricot (knit) fusible (stretch of tricot opposite of stretch of shirt), but I used a lightweight fusible last time and saw no difference. I always use a dry iron. Ditton on being careful around plastic-y logos. I dont' quilt thru those either.

I use a pellon ultra lightweight fusible. I also bought a bolt at Joann's. I've made 4 t-shirt quilt so far.

I like 911ff its a fusible featherweight. But my LQS carries a Sew Lazy brand that is just awesome!! I do really love it...no pressing cloth needed and interfacing goes so much quicker. The only down side is that it is alot more expensive than the other brands

Well, I don't use any kind of fusible. Because I live so far away from any store that sells fusibles AND because I wanted to start my quilt at night, I ironed FREEZER PAPER on to the back of my t-shirts. Then I cut out my blocks, and then sewed cotton sashing strips to all four sides. Removed the paper and made my quilt top. Works for me.

I prefer Pellon brand but I have used JoAnn's store brand that used to sell for .99 per yard and that worked fine as well.
