How to Make a T-Shirt Quilt

[@patsendele90]

I've only recently learned to sew and stumbled across this video. What sadness to learn Melanie's life was shortened by an awful disease. Know that her memory is still bringing new people to a love of creating and learning and she continues to inspire and brighten hearts and lives.

My deepest condolences to Melanie's family. To Melanie's mom, I will like to share with you, that I made a baby blanket the coral one, I did it same color too for my daughter to be born at that time and honoring my other kids, It is my first and only project with Melanie's help. God bless you all and I will pray for her and you as a family as well. I believe in Morher Virgin Mary, she can helps us in this difficult times. God bless you all and each of you. Good to see the good relationship between you two, it's a beautiful gift!!!

This is a great video! I love seeing Melanie & Momma Lisa working together on the quilt ❤

[@Ami-si6qu]

I have been saving shirts for years! I'm so excited and glad you did this video. Your mom is lovely!

[@stephaniethalman5909]

I have a t-shirt press that I use to put vinyl graphics on a shirt. I would like to use it to attach the interfacing to my t-shirts as it would be much faster than using a regular iron but I don't know where to set the temperature. any ideas?

[@amwoods86]

Hi Melanie, I'm working on a tshirt quilt right now (well, technically a baby clothes quilt) and I was wondering if I need to also put a fusible interface on the "framing fabric" as well or will it work without being interfaced? Thanks for this tutorial!

[@leahsjs8393]

Your Mum is so cute! & I love your pretty rotary cutter 😍

[@kathiehoskins813]

Your mother is an excellent teacher. Now I know where you got your beauty from. You should more videos including her.

[@MelanieHam]

+Kathie Hoskins so kind, she had a blast! Thank you!

[@Ao_letsgo]

I love your mom! She looks young enough to be your sister. She's sweet and I hope she makes more appearances ☺️

[@MelanieHam]

We had tons of fun! She lives far away so I only see her a few times a year, but we will definitely try to do more!

[@LalaQuilting75]

Love your mom want to see her more on your video it will inspire my mom to do sewing with me.

[@kararogers1779]

Very Helpful! I've been compiling my old t shirts for a t shirt quilt. Thank you!! Can't wait to get started now.

[@MelanieHam]

+Kara Rogers Yay, so glad it's helpful!

[@deborahreardon9245]

Thanks for the info. Very clear and helpful, especially about the pellon 906f.

[@leesakrall6592]

[@christinegrigg7323]

Great tutorial. loved your mom, she is best. x

[@MelanieHam]

+Christine Grigg she loved it, Thank you!

[@theastewart6721]

How wonderful! This just showed up on my feed! What a great video! T Shirt Quilting! I found this fascinating! What a great idea!💞

[@annraddant605]

Thanks for the video! Could you use a fusible fleece interfacing and skip batting?

[@socalgingerjohnson]

I did one with the feather weight stabilizer and it worked great! I had so many t-shirts I am thinking about making a second with flannel sashing and back. would you recommend using the 906F again or would the SF101 work better with a flannel?

[@MelanieHam]

+Ginger Johnson no I think the sf101 will be too think for flannel, I would stick with the featherweight

[@socalgingerjohnson]

Thank You!

[@SuperAlicefaye]

Beautiful job!! War Eagle!

[@shanni77]

Thanks for this tutorial!! I've been saving up tshirts for awhile now to make a quilt.

[@dotdeb99]

Thank you! Question. I am doing a firefighter quilt for my son. He has many patches from the fire Dept. Can you sew patches onto tshirt material and then sew these with the rest of the quilt?

[@carollatham5819]

Glad you are back, looking forward to what you have to share with us.

[@jylromain6439]

I don't quilt on top of logos that come apart in the dryer. It just helps to make holes in them. So those, I would quilt around.

[@bstevenson3448]

Great video! Just yesterday I was thinking about making a tee shirt quilt for grandies ..... thank you for the info!

[@nancykonstantinides876]

I have made four tee shirt quilts. It is way easier to use a 14 inch square piece of plexiglass for the first cut and the interface. Iron on the interface then use a 12 inch square piece of plexiglass to make the second cut. All tee shirts are a uniform 12 inch square. I used 30 tee shirts. Two inch trim around each tee shirt. I bought a flat sheet for the backing. Finish quilt is perfect for a full sized bed.

[@colin1150]

Thanks very much for a very helpful tutorial.

[@anab570]

Your mom rocks!!! she is great!! love the video! super interesting tips! thanks. Hope to see you around offend Mom!!

[@debramills8751]

Thank you for this tutorial I was wondering how do I know what type of stabilizer to use for my t-shirt it's a 15-in wide by 16-in long and I'm having trouble misunderstanding the packaging on the stabilizer material any advice would be appreciated.

[@karenhickey3377]

Man, I sure miss her ❤❤

[@Kimmcdougalcrafter]

Melanie, I don't even quilt but I watched this whole video and your mom made it fun to watch, she is so cool and so pretty too!

[@MelanieHam]

+Kim L. “Kim's Crochets” McDougal, Thank you!

[@craftsbyblee7617]

I wish you had a project (QOM type) that incorporated QAYG techniques. Sort of a sampler type quilt. Thanks

[@yungzubass9648]

Your mom is beautiful and very young look. Is so sad she lives far.... You are lucky to have wonderful mom

[@kaycarbone9150]

Great video.... I'm planning on making a tshirt quilt or two so LOVED this. Thank you!

[@anapaulasmoraes1839]

You look just as gorgeous as your mom. I love following you...:-)

[@michelebias8149]

I have made a couple t shirt quilts and have found that sewing through screened shirts causes the logo to tear when repeatedly used and washed. Have you not had this happen?

[@alenaseelye8672]

What color of thread would you recommend if the shirts were black all the way to white?

[@byronchandler5000]

Hi, Melanie. I really love the idea of a shirt quilt. What do you love about quilts?

[@bethdelmonte-catanese6925]

If we want to just sew the t-shirts together without the fabric in between is that something thats done?

[@loribernard5144]

Great tutorial! your mom is a natural, does she have a channel?

[@MelanieHam]

No, she doesn't ;) When she retires from her job I told her she should start one!

[@tonettahunt]

Can you do the qayg for this project?

[@lisatornuff9648]

[@Defined4hispurpose]

I don't know how to do this but this was really interesting and enjoyable. I would consider trying this. Thank you.

[@crystalstorms880]

You didn't even make a quilt? You did one shirt. And that's it. I don't understand.

[@D8271]
