I go to Hobby Lobby and buy the Gold Grid non-woven (doesn't stretch) which is similar to Pellon's red grid at Joann's but a lot cheaper at HL if you have one - use a 40% off coupon as well. If you'd like to send me an e-mail, I've written up how to do T-shirt quilts into steps ..... have done many of these.

I am sorry to hear of your loss. This will be a difficult quilt to make, I know. My brother passed away last month and I'm hoping I can get thru making a couple of quilts from his clothing for his kids. It won't be easy but the long term is that his daughters/wife will have a bit of comfort from them. My heart goes out to you. [email protected] for contact if you want the info.

I use freezer paper iron it on the back of the tshirt and saw borders on it.

QWLTN FOOL, I am also so sorry for your loss, Yes I would like any information you have in making the tshirt quilts. Thank You ,you can email me at [email protected]

WONDERFUL !!!! WONDERFUL !!!!!! WONDERFUL !!!!!!!!

This is what I use also. It works great! :thumbup:

Thats what I've used...looks like muslin on one side and glue on the other side.

My prayers are with you and your family.

I made a T shirt quilt on commission, I used a light weight fusible interfacing from Jo Anns and it worked very well. The customer was really happy with it.

I have made many t-shirt quilts. I like using "french fuse"
interfacing. It works well some of the others I have used has not held up as well. Always wash t-shirts and DON"T us any fabric softener. I have found it easier to iron on the interfacing before I cut the blocks out. It makes them easier to get them square.

I'm so sorry about your grandson. Our thoughts are with you. Be careful with the print on some tee shirts and your iron. Test them easy to see if they are OK to be ironed.The press cloth is good. The interfacing needs to be fairly light so you don't add a lot of weight and stiffness to the shirts.
