In this video -------------------- Give a new life to your favorite T shirts by turning them into a T shirt quilt! I'll show you how easy it is in this step-by-step video. Hi, I'm Angela Walters! To get started on your t-shirt quilt, gather tee shirts that have sentimental value. Don't worry if they don't all match in color--the memories they represent are the most important part of this quilt. Sixteen shirts is the perfect number for a small lap quilt, it will give you four rows with four shirts in each row. You could use more or less depending on how many shirts you have or how large you want the quilt to be. Roughly cut out the front of the shirt with scissors. The cuts don't have to be smooth, we will straighten them out later. Since tee shirts are usually made out of knit material, they can be stretchy and a little tricky to work with. To help make cutting and sewing the shirts easier, we are going to use fusible interfacing. Use an iron to bond the interfacing to the back of the shirt. Be sure to read the manufacturer instructions for specific iron temperatures. Now that the shirts are stable and easier to work with, it's time to trim the shirts. / It doesn't matter what size they are as long as they are all the same, and the graphic or design is as centered as possible and doesn't get cut out of the block. For my quilt, I am going to cut the blocks 12" square. Using a t shirt ruler like this, or a clear plastic template will help you see where the design will be once the shirt is cut. I'm using a rotary cutter and ruler mat to carefully cut out the block, but you can use scissors. Once the blocks are cut, it's time to decide how you want to layout the quilt. Arrange the blocks in rows until you are happy with the design. You could order them chronologically, or by color. There is no wrong way to make your t-shirt quilt. HERE I'M JUST USING FOUR BLOCKS (ON CAM) Line up the edges of your blocks and pin them together to prevent any of the layers from slipping while sewing. Sew the blocks together with a 1/2" seam allowance. If you have a walking foot for your sewing machine, be sure to use it. It will help feed all the layers evenly as you sew. Press the seams open - ironing them flat will make the quilting process easier. Now line up the seams so that all the points are matching, and pin. / Take it to the machine and sew, again with a half inch seam allowance. Make those seams are sewn open. / Press everything nice and flat and your quilt top is finished!. Now we have to turn those blocks into a quilt by - guess what - quilting it! Pick out a fabric for the backing. Cut it at least 2 inches bigger than your t shirt quilt top on all sides. With the backing face down add a layer of batting and then place the t-shirt quilt-top face-up. Baste the layers of the quilt together using safety pins. Now it's time for my favorite part, the machine quilting. Grab a walking foot and lower the feed-dogs on your machine. (use SF014, lesson 9, shot 9-4 for feed dogs) (use SF018, lesson 5, shot 5-22 for walking foot) Place the quilt sandwich under the needle and begin stitching - I like to start in the center of the quilt and work outwards but you can start wherever you like. See how the walking foot helps feed the thick layers of fabric through the machine. Stitch your way back and forth across the quilt, avoiding thicker emblems or heavy paint. Quilting through those areas is no fun. Continue until you've quilted the whole thing. You are almost done, all that's left is to bind the raw edges of your quilt. First, trim the edges of your quilt sandwich so that they are straight. Choose your binding fabric and cut it out into strips using a rotary cutter and ruler or scissors. I cut mine to 2 1/4" wide. Then connect the strips together. One the end of one strip draw a 45 degree angle from one corner to the opposite side. Then at the machine lay that strip face down on a second strip to form a right angle.
