How To: Sports Jerseys in a T-shirt Memory Quilt

[@darleensanford7231]

I've only ever done T-Shirt quilts. BUT I received a box today full of Jerseys for a graduation quilt. You have been very helpful.

Thanks for your informative tutorial for using jersey practice shirts in a memory quilt! LindaD

I have followed your suggestion with using the jersey basketball shirts, by attatching them to tshirt fabric around the perimeter and adding stabilizer to the back. Now I have the quilt all assembled
and ready to top stitch. The blocks are 15" in diameter, and the quilt is a 5 block by 6 block with a 2.5" boarder. My worry is how to top stitch it. The concern is that the jersey fabric
moves around. With that said, there will be some movement in the slippery jersey, so if I free motion I might get some excess fabric puckering going on. Any suggestions?

Tara, I made a t-shirt quilt as a gift to my grandson. I use June Taylor interfacing with a fleece backing. The next child played football so I have jerseys. Can I fuse the t-shirt interfacing to the jerseys?

[@quiltspluslove1896]

I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t work. Make sure to protect your iron from the fusible. :) happy quilting!

What interfacing do you use? I’ve been use pf44 , do I need something heavier for Jersey?

[@quiltspluslove1896]

I have always used pf44 with good results because I want the interfacing to feel invisible in the final quilt. Interfacing is our secret! ;-)

What size needle do you use for the mesh fabric?

[@quiltspluslove1896]

I stick with a standard microtex for best results. :)
