JOIN US LIVE on SEPTEMBER 10, 2024 at 2pm ET and learn the basics of making a T-shirt quilt.
A T-shirt quilt makes a great gift, as it creates a flood of memories and is a way to commemorate achievements. Plus, making a T-shirt quilt is a wonderful way to reuse and recycle older, worn, well-loved T-shirts into something new that's sure to be cherished.
You'll learn all about fussy-cutting motifs; preserving areas with holes or stains; proper stabilizing techniques; combining different fabric types; five creative patterns to use; where and how to showcase machine embroidery designs; how to add a personalized quilt label; and how to quilt the finished piece.
The techniques presented in this Videocast are super helpful for other T-shirt projects, too! If making a full quilt isn’t your jam, apply these methods and instructions to repurpose T-shirts in creative ways for other projects, such as pouches and bags, wall hangings and table runners, and more!
Sulky, in partnership with EmbroideryDesigns.com, brings you this fun, interactive experience LIVE! You can also access the full event on-demand once the livestream ends; the content never expires. Plus, you'll receive a collection of embroidery designs for FREE when you register - a $15.65 value!
