yes, light weight paper is best. tissue paper is fine too. i have some tracing paper I sometimes use.

When I made a t shirt quilt I had to stabilize the knit with a backing of light-weight interfacing first to stop it from growing under the needle and stretching while quilting it. I just ironed it on with an up and down motion so it would not stretch and then I made the quilt with no problems at all. I will say this, I will never make another one. It came out wonderful, but, I did not enjoy the process at all. Make sure you use a denim needle to quilt it with, it becomes a little thick to needle through.

Good suggestions all -- one word of warning about tissue paper, make sure it doesn't have any sort of plasticized coating or glaze. That can definitely change how tear-able it is from great to terrible!

Welcome to the Board. I made 2 T-shirt quilts and I use non-woven iron-on interfacing. It worked very well and the quilts went together easily. You will really enjoy this board just as I have.

I do have a question- what weight thread does everyone use for the bobbin-also, polyester or cotton? Thank you-hoping to learn a bunch of great info from this forum!
