Description
EZ-TEE is Therm O Web's stabilizer for t-shirt quilts: a lightweight, 100% cotton woven fusible interfacing that you iron onto the back of knit t-shirts, sweatshirts and jerseys so they stop curling and stretching and cut and sew like quilting cotton. It adds just enough stability without adding bulk, so the finished quilt stays as soft as the shirts. The dense weave also reinforces the stitching when you join the blocks. It is pre-shrunk, machine washable and dry cleanable, and made in the USA.
This is the black 14" x 25 ft roll, cut for blocks up to 12" x 12" finished: Therm O Web rates it at about 20 blocks, and yield varies with block size. For 16" blocks, or when you want to cut custom sizes from one large piece, use the 60" x 72" sheet. Black is the choice under dark shirts and jerseys. White interfacing can peek at the cut edges of black and navy knits, and black disappears there; it also comes in white for light-colored shirts, where black could shadow through a thin knit.
To use it, fuse an oversized piece to the wrong side of the shirt first, then trim the block to size. Protect your pressing surface with pressing paper or a non-stick sheet, since heat can transfer the shirt's printed image. Follow the package directions for iron setting and pressing time.

Compare and choose
- Black or white EZ-TEE: which do I need?
- Match the interfacing to the shirts. The interfacing fuses to the wrong side, but it shows at raw edges and can shadow through thin knits. Use black for black, navy and other dark shirts and white for light and mid-tone shirts. For a mixed quilt, many customers buy one of each and sort shirts by color. EZ-TEE White 14" x 25 ft
- 14" x 25 ft roll or 60" x 72" sheet: which format?
- The 14" roll is pre-cut to a block-friendly width and makes about 20 finished 12" blocks, so it is the simple choice for a standard t-shirt quilt. The 60" x 72" sheet is for 16" blocks (about 12), oversized designs, or when you want to fuse the whole front of a shirt and decide the block size later. Yield on either depends on how you cut.

- EZ-TEE vs Pellon SF101 Shape-Flex: is there a difference?
- Both are 100% cotton woven fusibles and both stabilize knits for a t-shirt quilt. SF101 is a general-purpose interfacing sold 20" and 60" wide by the yard or bolt, in white and black. EZ-TEE is packaged specifically for t-shirt quilts, pre-shrunk, with a 14" roll width that matches common block sizes. If you already use SF101, it works; if you are buying for one t-shirt quilt, EZ-TEE is sized for the job. Pellon SF101 Shape-Flex 20" x 10 yd Black
- Can I use a lightweight non-woven fusible instead of a woven one?
- You can, but we steer t-shirt quilters to a woven cotton. A woven stops stretch in both directions while still feeling like fabric, and it survives washing without tearing or going papery the way a featherweight non-woven can on a stretchy knit. Save the non-wovens for garments and crafts. HeatnBond Feather Weight non-woven fusible
- How do I apply EZ-TEE to a t-shirt?
- Cut the shirt apart and rough-cut the design area larger than the finished block. Place the interfacing adhesive side against the wrong side of the shirt, cover with pressing paper or a press cloth, and press with a dry iron per the package directions. Let it cool, then trim the block to its exact size. The image side of a shirt can transfer under heat, so protect the ironing board too.
- What batting goes with a t-shirt quilt?
- Keep it low loft so the quilt stays flexible: an 80/20 blend or a cotton batting in a pre-cut package sized to the quilt. Thick polyester makes a stiff, heavy t-shirt quilt. Pre-cut packages ship anywhere and are sized crib through king. Shop pre-cut batting packages
