Default As another board member said once "My never again Quilt"
A friend asked me to make her daughter a t-shirt quilt with all her high school shirts. The daughter wanted it colorful and thick. I had to put two layers of poly/cotton batting to get the thickness. Then i couldn't sew it through the machine. So I big stitched it with some heavy cotton thread. Mom bought a down cover and I used one of the sides for the back.

That's really nice. Love the back on it. My husband wants me to make a T-Shirt quilt using drag racing t-shirts. Will have to do some investigating before I start on this one.

​Yep it looks like it would be a nightmare to quilt. It looks great though!

I learned to say NO to people who want a comforter instead of a quilt. You did great with what restrictions your clients put on you. Job well done.

Let me ask. Does anyone know what it means when the lady at the shop said the gears need to be packed ? She wanted to have me leave one of my machines to service it but I didn't have the $ at the time. She said it needed to be cleaned, oiled and the
