How To Prepare Shirts for a DIY Memory Quilt, Part 1

How To Prepare Shirts for a DIY Memory Quilt, Part 1
This is good video for straight line quilting
Thanks I’m about to try this for the first time. But I just want straight across lines through the blanket without any perpendicular lines. So if I rotate while doing them, the entire perimeter won’t be stitched just every other section. Will that be ok, or should I do a perimeter stitch too
I don't see a part 2! Did you ever tape one, and if so where can I find it? Thanks for part 1!
Can I use anything for binding, such as satin ribbon or cotton binding from a roll or do I need to make it up like you show here?
I actually have that exact material that I have been holding on to! Now I can make this quilt too. Thank you for this video
Please explain how to thread a spool of quilting thread onto the horizontal spool that is attached to my machine. When I tried, the spool rattled around a lot and then spun right off the spindle.
I’m doing my first t-shirt quilt, thanks you all the tips ❤
Thank you so much for going step by step and explaining ❤love your videos!
Can you demonstrate on a real quilt throw size?
Thanks for this tutorial! I am preparing to make one (or hopefully a few...) memory quilt(s) using my daughters' clothes. I am trying out some quilt block patterns. I also wanted to try out soluble interfacing for stabilising. Have you ever tried that? I am curious to see if that helps with the sewing of the quilt but also reducing some bulkiness after washing.
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.
Just bound my quilt with your metho for mitred corners and they have never looked better. Thanks using this all the time now 🧵🧵
Walking foot works great, especially when using fleece or minky backing. Great video. I didn't know about pulling the bobbin thread up. Lol. Thank you!!!!
Thank you so much! Your video was very helpful!
Do you always start at the outside and work your way to the other side?
is spray adhesive safe for babies?
Fab vid but what I'm trying to find out is if for a new born do you add the wadding or not
Corner miter stitch is missing.😕
❤I just came across your you tube channel and absolutely love you videos. Your a great teacher hope to see more. I wanted to ask you is it better to use cotton thread for cotton quilts and polyester for tshirt quilts?
Very good tutorial. Thanks so much!
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?
I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t work. Make sure to protect your iron from the fusible. :) happy quilting!
I see you stitched over the t-shirt graphics. Doesn't puncturing the vinyl or whatever the graphic is made of create the possibility of it coming apart or peeling with washings afterwards?
I’ve never had an issue with peeling afterward with vinyl. If the item seems delicate I avoid quilting the area, and I avoid obstacles glitter/embellishments. For those areas I typically quilting a halo around the perimeter.
@@quiltspluslove1896 Good to know. Thank you.
Love the wide camera view!
Hello, Thank you for sharing this video! it's very helpful to beginners like me. I got a question, do you pre wash your fabric and batting? If so, what is your process? Thank you
Hi. Thanks for this video. Did you post a crumb quilting video? I'm interested in starting.
Thank you Tara, this was pretty good for a beginner but some steps were cut out or missing. I didn't see what you did to turn over the piece and do the top side nor what to do with the corners. I do have better idea now though.
Tara, I loved this video. While I’ve been quilting for several years now, I came across this when I searched RUclips looking for a simple quilt idea to prepare for a 1 year old birthday party I’ll be attending in the next few weeks. I have a local market coming up and on top of that, working full time, I didn’t want to stress about having to do an intricate project in such a short amount of time! I LOVE how you approached this as a great beginner quilter project. Getting down the basics and not having to stress about piecing is a great approach and one I wish someone had shared with me when I first started off! I love and appreciate how you share the process with such great explanations and detail, making sure you get the viewers of this video a good look at how you are completing each step. That is one thing that is significantly lacking in the quilting community videos on RUclips. Just subscribed to help support your channel and I look forward to getting to see your other videos. You rock!

Is the sashing between the rows all one piece
I call then « pinches » and I hate them…….
I can’t seem to sew straight….help!
Me too!! I've tried so many things and I'm still wandering...and 1/4 inch seems are my nemesis. Though I might try 1/2 inch seams and see what happens.
Put a piece of painters tape down the center of the quilt. Then sew along that to get a straight stitching line. Then use the wire guide along the 1st stitched line when you do the 2nd stitching line, and so on.
I would like to see videos on crumb and scraps quilting
I tried to find you pattern but site doesn’t work. The only thing I wanted to know is the size of each piece of fabric to be able do sew the disappearing 9 patches.
Geez, I open ALL the seams with my seams ripper by hand and after cut the seams! I like your way and I am listening very good cuz he take off my deceased husband shirts to do a memorial quilt. Thanks for your help.
What is the size of your top fabric? I have a baby quilt to do for a baby.
Can you use double batting on a baby quilt?
what kind of interfacing
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?
Love this!
Thank you. I have just decided to use my son’s hoodies for a quilt. I am going to hand sew it. Very ambitious of me as I’ve only sewn one thing in my life and it was a queen size memory/story/photo quilt for my granddaughter. It is 100% hand sewn and I’ve just taken it to South Africa. I now want to make one for each of my children, all hand sewn as well. I wasn’t sure where to start and you’ve shown me. Thank you.
What size needle do you use for the mesh fabric?
I stick with a standard microtex for best results. :)
It's been a year where's part 2 so I'll pass on your RUclips channel
I used a walkjng foot it works great
What interfacing do you use? I’ve been use pf44 , do I need something heavier for Jersey?
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 type of stabilizer did you use and by whom?
I'm interested! Can i get more info
Thank you Tara, I m 72 and just trying to teach myself to quilt. You explanations were very clear. The material was really precious.🌹
What size are the squares before sewing the nine patch together?
Thanks for the tutorial. Do you use stabilizer on all of the fabrics or only the stretchy material?
How much would you charge me to make a memory quilt out of shirts? Or what is your email or facebook name so I can get the answer?
