However, there are a few things to know before tackling a tee shirt quilt. In the following video, Jody Sanders shares 10 tips for turning tee shirts into a quilt.

She provides tips for designing the quilt using differently sized tee shirt motifs. Plus she shows how to cut a tee shirt apart and how to use a stabilizer (and what kind) to make construction easier.

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!




PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!
