FAQs
What makes TShirt Quilt Cafe different?
Your tshirt quilt is made the way you want it. You decide on how it should be arranged, not many makers have time to offer this. Include all types of clothing or articles made of fabric (tie, bag, scarf, etc..) that have a special meaning to you. Call/text 407-417-3509 to discuss further.
Do you use batting and a decorative stitch on top?
Batting is not required with the technique I use. I do not use long arm quilting on t-shirts either. I believe that will break the graphics and speed up deterioration after each wash. The fleece backed t-shirt quilts are lightweight, comfy, cozy and fluffy enough without all that. I do add a twin needle top stitch along the seam lines on the MOSAIC design.
How do I know what size to order for a mosaic style quilt?
There is a suggested number of tees for each size on the Mosaic product page. It really depends on the size of your logos. If adjustment in the size is required once I start working on your order, I will let you know. You will have the option to stay with the size ordered and return unused tees, or upgrade to the next size, I'll email an invoice for the price difference.
Can I send in other types of shirts besides T-shirts?
Sure, send jerseys, Dri- fit, sweatshirt, button downs, even jeans. Basically anything that is made of fabric and machine washable can be included.
Do you use other material beside fleece?
Anti-pill fleece is my preference, but I can absolutely work with you if you prefer something else.
How long will it take to get my memory quilt?
I never know what obstacles I'll face once I start on an order. An initial estimated schedule is given when I receive your box of tees. Delivery may be delayed due to the complexity of each order. Christmas and Graduation may take longer so do plan ahead!
How does the payment process work?
The website take all credit cards, PayPal, and ApplePay. I don’t take a deposit but you can ship your tees if you need help with size and design. (Make sure you include name & contact info inside your box!) Request a refund within 7 days if you change your mind and have not shipped your tees. Ship your tees to:

What about Rush Delivery?
Please call/text/email me before you choose Rush Delivery! You may be able to avoid the Rush Delivery fee if I receive your tees in time. If I have to express ship, then Rush Delivery fee applies. By default, free shipping is given unless you change to Rush Delivery.
How do I get my T-shirts to T-shirt Quilt Cafe to make my memory quilt?
Take them to your local packaging and shipping store or take them to the US Post Office. If you are in no hurry you can go on-line to the USPS.com and order a flat rate priority box for free (your mailman will bring it) and then schedule a pick-up online as well (your mailman will pick it up). Please make sure you include your name, contact info, and instructions inside your box! I have received boxes that cannot be traced to any order/customers because often times shipping carriers do not print your name on their label. It sits on the shelves until customer contacts me (yes it has happened!).
Where do I send my T-shirts?
Once you place your order your will receive a confirmation email and a 2nd email with shipping tips and info.

Of course! I will email (or text) you a picture for approval before I cut & sew so be sure to check your email! I will text a reminder to check your email if I do not hear from you.
Do I have to wash or cut my shirts before I send them?
Wash, yes. Cut, NO! Its OK if you already cut your tees but if possible, try not to! Especially for the Mosaic design. I will need all parts of your tees to make your tshirt quilt.
Do I have to choose the color and/or pattern of fleece material used to make my quilt?

Can I use the front and the back of my T-shirts or a pocket or sleeve in my memory quilt?
Of course, Use a sharpie to mark on the neckline or tag of the t-shirt either F (use Front), B (use Back), or FB (use Front and Back). If you have additional notes or requests please write them on the order form that you print and include in the box with your tees.
Can you put smaller logos or pictures together to form one square?
Yes! I do it all the time.
Is embroidery an option?
Yes! However, keep message short for best results. The longer the message, the smaller the font. If you did not add embroidery during ordering process, it’s not too late…..I can email you an invoice.
What if my logos are larger than standard 12" square?
Your tees are cut to the size of the graphics. Dimensions are recalculated to ensure that no parts of the graphics is cut into. I will contact you if there are any issues that need to addressed.
Can I wash my memory quilt?
Wash your tshirt quilt the same way you wash your t-shirts.
