Designer TheresaPorter machine-quilted customdesigns across the quilt top,including wavy and straight lines,loops, and a starburst motif. Shealso quilted words and dates intosome of the fabric pieces.TIPS FOR T-SHIRT QUILTST-shirt pieces to make one larger unit.Designer Theresa Porter has madedozens of T-shirt quilts. What is hermost important rule for these projects?“There are no rules,” she says. “Theydo not have to be perfect in any way.They are soft, snuggly scrapbooks fullof memories.” While there aren’t rules,there are ways to make the processeasy and enjoyable. Use these tipsto transform stacks of T-shirts intomemorable quilts.Use a lightweight interfacing. Manybad experiences while making T-shirtquilts come from using interfacingthat is too thick or stiff. Sewing stifflyinterfaced pieces together is hardon you and your machine, and theresulting quilt isn’t cuddly. Choose alightweight interfacing that controlsmost of the T-shirt stretch withoutadding bulk or rigidity. Many quiltersuse fusible knit tricot interfacing.(When using knit interfacing, be sureto put the stretch of the interfacingopposite the stretch of the T-shirt.)Others prefer woven or nonwoveninterfacing. When purchasinginterfacing, look for words likefeatherweight, lightweight, and sheer.Be careful when ironing. Press T-shirtpieces from the wrong side or use apress cloth, because some logos andlettering can be damaged (or candamage your iron) if they are toucheddirectly with a hot iron.Add unexpected materials. In additionto using T-shirts, Theresa incorporatedteam uniforms, some of which weremade of mesh or jersey. She bastedthese open-weave fabrics to samesize pieces of cotton fabric beforeincorporating them into the quilt top.To include patches in a quilt, first sewthem to a cotton fabric.Make the quilting meaningful.Continue the personalization byincorporating names and significantwords or dates into the machinequilting.Adapt the pattern. “Following a T-shirtquilt pattern exactly as written is nearlyimpossible because the shirts you areusing are unlikely to match up perfectlyin size to those used in the pattern,”Theresa says. It’s easy to adapt anypattern. If your shirts are too small fora particular area, combine two or moreT-shirt pieces to make one larger unit.Or add a strip cut from another part ofthe T-shirt or from coordinating fabricto bring it to size. Graph paper can helpwhen you’re making adjustments likethis to the layout.3) Bind with dark gray tone-on-tonebinding strips.AllPeopleQuilt.comPattern may be downloaded for personal use only.
