Tshirt quilt with fusible batting?
I searched the forum and did not see this anywhere.
I am thinking about doing a tshirt quilt using fusible batting to stabilize the pieces. I intend to quilt each block as I go, then put the blocks together. Not sure how I will do it yet! I have never worked with fusible batting, and don't know if the batting is a temporary or permanent fuse. I guess I am a bit lazy and would like to replace the fusible interfacing with the batting. Does anyone have experience doing this? All suggestions are welcome! Phyllis |
Hobbs fusible batting is water solvable and washes out. I don't know if it would stabilize the T shirts enough for quilting. One reason to use stabilizer for t shirt quilts is so the blocks are stable enough to sew cotton fabric to the knit without getting ripples.

I used Pellon 911ff. Someone here on the board recommended it. It is lightweight. Joann's sells it.

The trouble is many t-shirt have printed "paint" on the front of the t-shirts so how would you fuse the batting?? I ruined one of my Rowenta irons because I got that "paint" on it.
