It has been a couple years since I filmed my how to make a t-shirt quilt series.
Time for an updated video! I got together with my friends at Prime Publishing to show you how to make a T-shirt quilt from start to finish.
To make your quilt, you’ll need a few supplies:
T-shirts
Press Cloth (an old dishtowel will do)
Lightweight Fusible Interfacing
Border Fabric
Rotary Cutter, Mat & Ruler
Iron and Ironing Board
Sewing Machine.
In the video I take you through all the steps of making your t-shirt quilt. Learn the best way to cut your shirts so that your whole design fits on your blocks, and tips for how to center your design. What do you do when you have different sized shirts to incorporate into your t-shirt quilt? Add borders, of course! I show you what bordered blocks look like.
Stitching together stretchy shirts can result in puckers and blocks that don’t line up correctly. Adding a light-weight interfacing to your quilt blocks (I love and use Thermoweb brand interfacings) keeps them from stretching while cutting, sewing, and quilting your quilt.
Quilting your quilt is easy using a walking foot, or you can send your t-shirt quilt to a professional long-arm quilter to quilt it for you.
To finish your quilt, add binding and a label!
Comments & Reviews
I Purchased your foundation piecing water pen and I’m not quite sure how to add water to the pen. So anything you can do to enlighten me will be appreciated.
Thank you,

Take off the cap. Unscrew the top from the base.
If you’re trying to unscrew the base from the top, then you’re twisting the wrong direction. Twist the other direction.
