T shirt quilt interfacing...
I cannot find the info for which interfacing to back the t-shirts with...
I thought I had saved it. Thanks, Kirsten |
I am just finishing a t-shirt/memory quilt and I used Pellon sheer weight fusible interfacing. It is strong enough to keep the shirt pieces from stretching or shred (at least until after the quilt is completed and after all quilted it doesn't matter). It is also relatively cheap...$1.67/yard (approximately 20" wide) at WalMart.

Any lightweight, fusibles interfacing is fine, brand isn't important. Not paperbacked fusible used for applique! ( like steam a seam, wonder under or heat n bond-- those are a totally different product) just a lightweight Interfacing. Joanne's & hobby lobby carry many to choose from- they are inexpensive ( kind of like a dryer sheet with fusible added to one side.) They remain on the back of the blocks--are not removed.

I like the featherweight fusible with the little dots on the "glue side."

I have always used Pellon 906F. It's featherweight , fusible and works great.

I use french fuse because it's 60" wide and not too expensive, you can get similar at JoAnn's but its not as wide.

I use the plain Quilt Smart interfacing from my local quilt shop. I did a very large t-shirt quilt with it and it was easy to use. You have to make sure to fuse it down correctly, but it's a dream to cut and does not feel stiff.
