Kind of Shirts we can useUpdated 10 days ago

We can mix in different types of fabric, not just cotton t-shirts! We are able to make the most affordable quilts because we only incorporate fabrics and materials that are durable and easy to work with. Some clothing items require a minor fix, but other fabrics either are difficult to work with, or not compatible with our sewing machines

Materials that work:

T-shirts, sweatshirts/hoodies, tech and dri fit fabrics, fleece, flannel, scrub tops, jerseys- basketball, volleyball, hockey jerseys, golf polos, polos* . See examples

Materials that do not work:

We can not use Denim/jeans, shirts with zippers, silk, sweaters, knits, canvas, nylon jackets/tracksuits, leather, canvas, letterman jackets, wool, Lycra, Spandex, dance & gymnastics leotards/costumes, sequins, down filled items, women's blouses, satin, graduation gowns/sashes, tote bags

Materials that may work but would require an alteration fee:

We can use additional materials not listed above but they may require an additional fee of $8.99. 

Rally towels, button down shirts with logos close to collar, polos with logos that are very close to the collar, undersized tank tops/sleeveless shirts, v-neck shirts, cheerleading tops, puff paint, rhinestones, pinnies

The additional charge is due to increased time and attention that we give these pieces to make sure they look great in your finished quilt and to ensure they do not damage our equipment. You will be billed if there is any custom work needed.
