T-SHIRT QUILT CUTTING, BACKING AND QUILTING

T-shirt quilt cutting, backing and quilting. In this tutorial, we continue on with our t-shirt quilt series. I teach you how to cut your t-shirts to size using a quilting ruler and rotary cutter. I also show you how to cut your backing and batting. We then sandwich the t-shirt blocks using 505 Spray and then quilt using a decorative stitch. I also teach you how to border a a smaller block in order to fit in the t-shirt quilt.

Great tutorial. Me too on the weights. Making another t shirt quilt, this was very helpful. Thank you.

[@EJsDaughter]

I have a friend coming over tomorrow to start her t-shirt quilt. Video is right on time. Thank you.

[@livingweirdestherc6644]

I will have to make a quilt like this. My kids have lots of T-shirts.

[@conqueringmountscrapmorewi2509]

Those T shirt quilts are so cool and each one is so different! Thank you for posting!

[@TheCraftyAuthor]

Thank you 😊

[@ColleenJohnson-oy5kc]

So you don't need to center the design in the square? It looks like a lot of extra blank fabric at the bottom of the designs. I have an order for a graduation quilt, and I'm worried I'm going to mess it up. So much info....and I need it all. Thaks cj

[@eileenmeyers6080]

I cut my squares from the selvage edge which then leaves me a wider piece leftover on the fold end. That way you have less small pieces of scraps. And please tell us what you use for the stabilizer on the back of your t shirt squares.

[@TheCraftyAuthor]

I am using Pellon Shirtailor 950F as my stabilizer

[@candylps4179]

You can always use the extra fabric that has the stabilizer to frame your 10 1/2 squares.🤔

[@TheCraftyAuthor]

Thank you, Candy ❤️ Excellent tip!

[@normarangel2879]

What kind of stabilizer do you use?

[@TheCraftyAuthor]

Hi Norma- The stabilizer I use is Pellon 950F.

[@susanniedt4208]

It’s probably logical to those of you who sew, but how do you then sew the squares together to form the quilt without there being a seam showing on the back? Did I miss something?

[@TheCraftyAuthor]

Hi Susan- I have a playlist of how to make a t-shirt quilt. Here is the playlist. I hope you can find the answers you are looking for. kzbin.info/aero/PLC26UuejwRbrJ5l08Gmk8ZKPPJ2o-8Glk To answer your question about the seam showing on the back; if you are sewing the blocks together your seam will always show on the back until you add batting and a backing. I will link to a video where I show how to do this. It isn’t with a t-shirt quilt but the concept is the same if you’re not going to use the Quilt as you go method like I did on the t-shirt quilt. Let me know if you have any questions. kzbin.info/aero/PLC26UuejwRbqzFyA35jzpep6YiJrBQIB8

Your rotary cutting technique is risky. Cut up one side and across the top. Then turn your MAT 180 degrees so you are always cutting AWAY from your body, not towards you.
