i’m so glad i saw this video! thank you! looks amazing!
Twice in one day I get to spend time in your craft sewing room thank you so much for doing that for us. Your cheerful, peppy bubbly self is so appreciated. May God Bless you for all that you give to us.
Hi Betty! I appreciate the kind words and the blessings, hugs my friend!
Thank you for taking time to share your knowledge with us!! I have learned so much! You have inspired me to make a t-shirt/memory quilt!
I think that is so AWESOME! I really hope you do make a memory quilt :) Always here to help along the way if you run into questions.
That insert looks so good!! Thank you for sharing your ""smarts". Wish I had some t's to work on.
thanks Linda :) If you lived closer you could come help me with this quilt hahahaa
@@TheQuiltmakerHomestead you dont how much I wish I could. ☺
Great idea. Thanks
my pleasure!
That’s why you’re good at t-shirt quilts and I’m not! Lol. Ingenious!
hahahahaa......I believe you would be good at them if you applied yourself hahahahaa........ (that's what I tell my kiddos)
Lisa Capen Quilts like you said if I would apply myself I could do it. Thing is quite a while ago I tried it and did everything possible wrong so to be honest I I don’t think I am interested in going down that road. Lol! Maybe one day...nah I can’t see it happening. Lol! Lol! I’ll just watch you and enjoy it through you.
@@sandyrichmond2570 hahahaaa, well, it's good to have healthy boundaries hahahaaa, hugs ladybug!
Great idea
thank you so much Peggy!
Great job explaining that. I used the same technique on cheerleader uniforms tops and other small items. I never never used interfacing on my t shirt quilts. I made about 200 last year.
I dont think I would use glue anywhere on my quilts. I top stitch around neck and armholes
The glue washes right out, and when heat set with an iron...its all dry before going to the sewing machine. I used to not stabilize my shirts either.....i like the light control if the Pellon P44 fusible though...and it makes it easier....for me anyways :) before...my raw edges of the shirts would curl up....I thought that was so frustrating hahaaa
I have worked with tshirt knit for many years, I guess It doesnt bother me anymore but I can see where it would be annoying. Lol
brilliant
Thank you so much :)
Can u do one with a football Jersey some time ?
if I find one at the thrift shop I would be glad to :) I'm pretty sure that the next few quilts that I'm doing doesn't have one in them. I'll keep my eyes open :)
Ok thanks so much . My neighbor wants me to do a memory quilt from her sons shirts that passed from leukemia and I've never made one so I was going to try it with my shirts first and I have some jerseys that I dont wear anymore that I wanted to put in it but wasnt sure how. No hurry though 😊
Love your videos. Simple and very helpful. I sent a message to you on your Etsy shop, for I have a problem with some of my granddaughters tee shirts and don't know how I can fix them to make a quilt with them.The numbers are flaking off and they all are different colors. Have tried some fabric paints, but some numbers are different greens, etc,so fabric paints do not match. I did send you a image on your Etsy store, but do not if you got it. Any suggestions? Thanks
Just replied on Etsy
Why don’t you remove the neck and sleeve seems?
I have another question dear friend! I’ve had to cut some of my smaller shirts into the arm seam. When I do that I get a lot of bulk, especially on some sweatshirts. Then with that bulk it’s hard to nest those seams when sewing. How do you deal with that bulkiness? I absolutely love your videos. You have covered about every problem I’ve come up against. Love you dear friend.❤️
I know EXACTLY what you are talking about :) sometimes....it just can't be avoided and it is what it is. When this happens, sewing that seam, GO SLOW. Hopefully the bulkiness of it will sink into the batting when the quilt is layered. Now, if you can cut the block smaller by chance DO IT...even adding a cotton fabric border to make the block bigger and to the right size will help avoid the much dreaded armpit seams lol
Lisa Capen Quilts I just finished one and because of the print I had to make the blocks 16”. Some of her shirts were so small I did that exact thing and put them on their own piece of fabric. My problem was a heavy sweatshirt with Pockets which is fine but the seams were so bulky. I didn’t know if there was any way to cut that bulkiness down. Some seams I just can’t nest. Like you said, it is what it is. Most people if they aren’t quilters don’t even notice, but it sticks out to me like a sore thumb. Thank you for all your blessed help! Love you dear friend.
Lisa Capen Quilts do you by any chance press your seams open?
@@barbaracorry3619 I do not, I press to the side, however you can press them open if you like
😲😲😲😲 if I could only go back in time before I hacked up my tshirts 🤦
Would this work on shirts that already have interfacing on it?
hmmm......I'm not really sure how that would work if you've already added the stabilizer.....????? Sorry I didn't post this video sooner...but maybe it'll help out in your next quilt project :)
