I would use something like Fusi-Knit - it's a very lightweight fusible interfacing. I've used it in a t-shirt quilt with no problems. Using that, or something similar, will make sure the stretchy fabrics won't stretch when sewn into a quilt top.

Be careful with fusing and dance clothing. Some of the fabrics used can't take the heat that most fusibles require.

And if I can be fused use a non-woven fusible interfacing
