I use a lightweight fusible on the back of shirts. I don't want to add a lot of bulk, just stabilize them until I get the top made.
Joann's sells a prepackage of 10 yds for not much $ and if you have a coupon or they are on sale, that is better. I just saw them the last time I was there. At my small store, the interfacing is on the end of the cutting table and these were in a box (on the floor, of course) near there.
Hope this helps!Jules~

I have heard from JaneAnne, who confirmed what Martha Deleonardis stated in her book T*SHIRT Quilts, that 911FF Pellon Fusible Featherweight is the way to go. It can be purchased at Joann's, where it is currently on sale at 50% off! Supposedly, this particular one is forgiving, if the directions are not followed perfectly. Others seem to get temperamental if you don't bond it just right.

Yes, I didn't know the code numbers but I use Pellon Fusible Featherweight, too.

I made a king-size tee shirt quilt about ten years ago with NO fusible. :shock: The quilt is washed constantly due to dust allergies and
while the woven-fabric sashing is wearing out,the tee shirts are just fine.
The sashing worked as a stabilizer while sewing the
top together. I will be making another quilt soon and don't plan to use fusible in this one either. I did make slightly wider seams (about
1/2 inch) and most of the tee shirts were fairly new.

Thanks Nancy, I finished the quilt I was making last week. It is made up of 30- 13.5" squares backed with pellon 911F. The fusible interfacing made it a breeze to sew them together but it is a little heavy so I pressed the seams open. I used warm&white batting and a cotton backing that her Mom picked out. It is a graduation gift for a High Schooler who is heading off to college in the Fall. They love it! I stitched in the ditch but since warm and natural calls for 10" quilting I free motioned around certain designs on each square using the color thread matching each tee because they were so amazing I didn't want to distract from them. For example one was a boat and crossed oars because she is on rowing team so I sewed around them. I was really happy with it and now my daughter is saving shirts for my Grandson who is a freshman so I can make him one eventually. I think I would look a little for a lighter interfacing but one thing is for sure. I believe the one I made will wear like iron!
