You definitely want fusible interfacing, and I've heard more than one school of thought on stretchy versus woven. One person I asked (who'd made several T-shirt quilts) said that she used whichever was cheaper that day. ;) If you use woven, it will stabilize the knit fabrics. If you use knit interfacing, put it so that the direction of the stretch is perpendicular to the direction of the T-shirt stretch, and that will help to stabilize it.

I've made several and I use a med. weight iron on interfacing.
Sorry to hear about your grandson

Please get a pressing cloth too.

Thanks for the advice about the pressing cloth. I'm just finishing up my first t shirt quilt and have learned the hard way about using a pressing cloth. Nothing catastrophic happened and I'll know better for the next one I make.
