How do I prepare my t-shirts for a t-shirt quilt?

Step 1: Put the scissors down and ship your clean shirts to me.

That’s it. No measuring or cutting required. I’ll take care of that for you.

Every quilter has their own process for preparing t-shirts for a quilt including what they’d like their clients to do before shipping them, some of which involves cutting or trimming the shirts.

I prefer to have full control over where the shirts are being cut because where I cut depends on the logos or designs on your specific t-shirts. This means that your shirts may be trimmed a little bit bigger than someone else’s because the design on your shirt is bigger. It’s not one size fits all with me. I try really hard to avoid cutting off any part of the t-shirt design because these are your memories. I don’t want to trim off a piece of a memory that should be there.

So now that you don’t have anything to measure or trim, let’s get those shirts in the mail!
