I am in the process of quilting the borders of two t-shirt/sweatshirt quilts, and whole heartily agree with Katherine on maybe finding a lighter weight stabilizer for the next one! I think it would be worth the extra money to look for the stabilizers that Nancy is be referring to. I found the Pellon 911 will wrinkle, because of the stiffness.
Here are some photos of my quilting. Let's just say I had so much fun, that they did not get done by graduation, but they were still "gifted" and I will be getting them back soon to finish them!
The above photo is done with Superior Rainbows, and therefore catches the light from the flash. The stitching actually just blends in!

Dawn I love your quilting! Thanks for sharing. I would recommend tee shirt quilting to anyone who wants to try. It was very gratifying.Comment

When I amke a t-shirt quilt for clients, I use fusible tricot. It is the lightest stabilizer I've found. It adds almost NO weight to the quilt.

Just saying, I love fusible tricot. It is light weight and very drapeable. I also just discovered that it is essentially the same product cut in strips and sold in rolls as fusible strips to join odd sized pieces of batting into something useable. Haven't made a teeshirt quilt but I am sure it would add stability without adding stiffness.

I just finished a T-shirt quilt using the directions in "T-Shirt quilts made Easy" by Martha Deleonardis. She recommends Pellon 911 non woven lightweight interfacing. It worked very well and did not add bulk to the shirt. Her book is well written with easy to follow instructions for using multiple shirts and differing sizes with a grid layout. The author recommends having it quilted on a long arm. I followed her advice esp because I used minkee for the backing.Comment

Hi! I was just wondering what else is in for the winters? I just bought these great tank tops and hoodies and I was thinking of doing some quilting. I have a lot of ideas and I’m really excited to make a new collection for the next year. Happy 2018 everyone!!Comment
