I have some t-shirts that hold a lot of memories, which makes them hard to toss out.
This quilt means more to me than any other item Ive ever sewn…its a treasure to me.
One reason we all love wearing t-shirts is because they are made from such soft, stretchy knit fabric.
When it comes to making t-shirt quilts, though, their stretchiness poses a problem.
Thats why you oughta stabilize your shirts before you use them in a quilt or any other sewing project.
You do this by applying a fusible backing to the t-shirt fabric.
The backing helps the shirt hold its shape while you cut and sew it.
