I have heard that stretch denim jeans shouldn't be used for cutting for patches for quilts can anyone tell me why this would be so. I had intended to use stretch and non stretch denim for my patches.

I would think that simply for the reason that it does stretch, and probably would be hard to keep the quilt from sagging. But people also make t-shirt quilts that do the same thing. Maybe if you use a stablizer on the back of the stretch denim. Don't forget to make your seam allowances bigger with denim.
Good luck, CherylJenny in Oz -
The challenges that I have had using it are the stretch and the polyester and elastic tend to melt if the iron is too hot when you are pressing.
I have been trying to use starch to help stabilize my blocks for the work that I am doing.
I am using my parents old jeans and overalls to make memory quilts for their grandchildren, so not using the stretchy denim is not an option for me.
Hope this helps!

Thank you both. I have only one pair of the stretch so i think i will leave them out I thought the reason not to use them would be because they would sag.
thanks again
