What is your favorite fusible interfacing for tee shirt quilts
 
Looking for your input on which fusible interfacing you prefer to stabilize the t-shirts in a quilt. Thanks for your help. I have never made one.

I like the fusible tricot. It stays soft. When you apply it, just be sure to put the stretchy direction opposite of the way the tee shirt stretches.

You'll get a lot of different opinions. I use either a tricot or featherweight interfacing. Whatever is on sale. I'm not tied to one particular kind. My suggestion is to get a half-yard of several different kinds, apply them to shirts and see which one strikes your fancy!

I use Misty Fuse or Stable Stuff for all my interfacing.

Pellon 906F.

I've used tricot but found there is more stretch than the Pellon (or whatever comparable brands) featherweight or lightweight.

I bought a whole bolt of Pellon fusible interfacing for sheer to lightweight fabrics 906F at JAF with a coupon. I have made for customers probably about 6 t-shirt quilts. I use this because the T-shirts become so heavy in the quilt. Good Luck !!

NONE! I know that I am in the minority but I don't use it unless the T-shirt is especially flimsy.
