    How To Use This Guide

    Our prices are this great because we have created an efficient system for creating t-shirt quilts.

    Follow the instructions carefully to avoid delays or fees at production.
    Step One

    Get together all of your shirts & your tools. Make sure you have the correct # of t-shirt sides selected for the quilt you ordered.

    Pack up your shirt sides and pop them in a box. Buy your shipping label from our website, and then print your packing slip and include it in your box of shirts.

    Step One | Count 

    Count out the correct number of t-shirt sides.

    What is a T-Shirt Side?

    It's either the front or the back of a t-shirt. Every t-shirt has two sides. Yes, you can send both, but they must be separated.

    Important!
    • Send the correct # of sides.
    • We do not return extra sides.
    • If you ordered a double-sided quilt, send TWICE the number of sides!
    Step Two | Measure

    Make sure that each t-shirt side has enough fabric for the panel size you ordered.

    Remember!

    Do not cut your own panels! Send us the full sides of your shirts (including the sleeves). The more fabric we have to work with, the better.

    Step Three | Separate

    Separate the front from the back of each shirt.

    Are You Doing It Right?

    We need enough fabric from your shirts to cut them into squares. Don't cut your own panels and leave us as much fabric as possible!

    Step Four | Pack and Ship

    Pack and Ship your shirts!

    In the email confirmation from your order, go to step 3 to purchase your shipping label. Print your packing slip, fill out the checklist, and include it in the box with your shirts.

    Click on step 3 of your order confirmation email.

    Can I track my shirts?

    After you pay for your shipping label, you will get a tracking number so you can watch them land safely at our production facility.

    We will let you know via email when your shirts arrive at our facility. Please note that it can take 24-48 hours to check in packages once they arrive.

    Important Stuff to Consider

    • What fabric can I use in my quilt?

    • What might I get charged extra for?

      We have a very efficient process for making our quilts, and our prices reflect that. If you follow our instructions, you won't  be charged extra! Below are the reasons you will be sent an invoice once we receive your shirts:

      • - T-shirt side too small for the panel size you ordered ($7.50 each)
      • - Fronts of shirts not separated from the backs of shirts ($2 each)
      • - Repairing holes in a shirt ($7.50 per shirt)
      • - Non-t-shirt material requires a backing ($7.50 each) to reinforce the integrity of the fabric, this includes: rally towels, tracksuits, some button down shirts, and some mesh. Please see 'What Fabric can I use in my quilt?' for more clarification.
      • - Shirts that may need to have extra fabric added to them to better center the graphic on the finished quilt panel ($7.50 each). This is common on undersized tank tops, some v necks, and shirts with images very close to the neck line. This greatly improves the appearance on a finished quilt.
      • - Removing a zipper, or any other embellishment that may damage our machines ($7.50 per shirt)

      Other custom charges may apply and your invoice must be paid to receive your quilt back.

    • How do I make changes to my order?

      In your order confirmation email, click on the link in step 2, "Verify my order details and see available upgrades". This will take you to your order details page, where you can confirm the details of your order, and make changes as needed, such as: change fleece color, adjust shipping address, change panel size, or add upgrades to your quilt!

    • Can I customize the layout of my quilt?

      Yes! Arranging the layout of your shirts costs an additional $25. In your order confirmation email, click on the link in step 2, "Verify my order details and see available upgrades". This will take you to your order details page, where you can upload a photo of the desired layout of the shirts in your quilt.

    • How do I get my shirts to you?

      Customers buy a shipping label to send their shirts to us directly from our website. In your order confirmation email, click on the link in step 3, "Purchase shipping label and print packing slip". Then print out your shipping label (for outside the box) and packing slip (for inside the box). You can reuse any box you may have at home - just be sure it is in good condition and securely taped when you package it.

    • Order Expiration, Refunds, and other Billing information

      Your order expires 3 months after you purchase the quilt. After 2 months, your order is non-refundable. Sending notes or other custom work will require extra fees and cause delays.
