    I am a hand quilter only and use Elmer's Glue to baste and have no problems when quilting. I must add that I only do big-stitch quilting and that may make difference.

    fleece for backing

    Is there any compelling reason why fleece should not be used as backing on a t-shirt quilt?

    T-shirt and hand quilting?????

    Have any of you t-shirt quilters hand quilted the finished product, and if so, was it worth the difficulty of quilting through the fabric and interfacing?
