For the topper, you could sew a piece of flannel across the top panels, then you can make mitered corner.

Yes, absolutely. This is a great suggestion, and I am sure it would look really nice. I might try this!

This was very helpful. Thank You

I am so glad I could be of help!

The rectangle pattern is 33" wide, and 30" high.

I am glad you use the back of the shirt as well. So many people use stabilizer and I think the extra layer gives it stability as well as additional warmth. Would a walking foot help with all those layers? Well done.

@stephaniessewingstudio 4 месяца назад

I have tried to use a walking foot when sewing the layers together. My old Singer walking foot kept coming apart and slowing me down substantially. If you have a different machine with a walking foot, you should try it. In theory it should work, but the thickness may prevent it from working well. I would love to hear back from you with your machine make and model, and let me know if it works!

I've made 2 t-shirt blankets, but I like your design so much better and I noticed you didn't iron on stiffener sheets on the back of each shirt before cutting. Wow! I want to make xl twin blanket for our camper beds. Could you share your words of wisdom what size block pattern I/you would use? I see you are using a much larger pattern. (33x30..a much larger blanket) Your work is beautiful. Thank you for any help. I know you must be so busy. Smiles, Cely in Cocoa Beach, FL (retired teacher) PS Not a quilter...haha

Hi Cely! I am so glad you like my design, it works well for me! If I were to make an XL twin, I would definitely add to the width. The problem you will run into, is that most t-shirts have a logo or design 14" - 18" wide. That is why a 33" wide pattern works so well. Perhaps an extra row of t-shirts down the middle? Think creatively about how to make it work. Problem solve, Cely, you can do it!

Could you tell me what settings I need to have my machine on to sew the T-shirts?

@stephaniessewingstudio Месяц назад

I sew this blanket on Hope, which is a Singer 403A from 1957. So her settings are just, long stitch with a ball point needle. But, honestly, the ball point needle only helps a little. If I were to do this on my Opal Viking, I would put the setting on Stretch heavy, with a 4.5 length stitch. I hope this helps!

If I were wanting to achieve a lighter weight blanket (hello, Southern AZ 🥵), would it work to do this exact thing, but without the batting?

@stephaniessewingstudio 4 месяца назад

Yes! I think that would work better when you stitch to bind the layers together. It will be thinner and easier to fit under the arm of your sewing machine.

@ShawnaHerr-id5sm 2 месяца назад

What seam allowance are you using?

@stephaniessewingstudio 2 месяца назад

I am using 1/2 " because it is easy to add up. But, lots of times I need to use less or more to make it fit.

@AnnaYork-y7o 4 месяца назад

Can you use sweatshirts as well?

@stephaniessewingstudio 4 месяца назад

Absolutely! I have used hoodies, sweat pants, dresses, even socks!

@heatherreh4805 4 месяца назад

What type of needle do u use in ur machine

@stephaniessewingstudio 4 месяца назад

I love size 90. If the needle is too thick (size 100) it makes a sound I don't like when it goes through the layers. :/

3 layers sewed together=quilt; not blanket. You quilted it, you are a quilter. My sister wants a blanket that isn't quilted, your video wasn't much help.

@stephaniessewingstudio Месяц назад

I thought a blanket was not quilted. After looking at definitions, you are right. But in my brain, doing this on a machine is not quilting. I imagine my grandma with a needle and quilting frame, going 8 stitches per inch. I have made a blanket like this, without batting, just flannel, for a summer throw. But, I am still not sure if that would be a blanket or a quilt, because I would still sew them together.
