Top Interfacing for T-Shirt Quilts for Beginners

This is a great beginner’s ‘dip your toe in the water’ project before you jump straight into that t-shirt quilt.

In fact, making the T-Shirt Tote Bags has given me the confidence to plan my first ever T-Shirt Quilt!

When fabrics don't fuse, I simply spray a little bit of basting spray, and that does the trick.

Do not iron directly on the T-shirt design. You never know if the design will stick to the iron and ruin both the T-shirt and your iron.

When applying a stabilizer to a T-shirt in preparation for a project, I always cut a piece of interfacing slightly larger than the T-shirt.

[{"selector":"#anim-062ddc2c-1cf4-4340-8e0c-d6f9de3c14a5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

I always sew with the stabilizer side up, and the other fabric underneath. I’ve found it moves through the machine more evenly this way.

A good amount of stabilizer (interfacing) for a T-shirt quilt is 10 yards. That sounds like a lot, I know!
