Working with non traditional quilt fabrics

07-30-2008, 04:53 PM

My friend has been asked to make a memory quilt out of Tee Shirt material and dance costume fabrics which has stimulated a lot of conversation on the subject between us. I am thinking that the fabrics should be stabilizied with a light weight fusible stabilizer. Has anyone worked with fabrics like this for a quilt, and if so how did you handle them?
Thanks!

Check with eileenkny regarding the t-shirt material - that's part of her business so she might be able to give some guidance & direction.

Happy Quilting!
