Hi Everyone, My question is about what's the best way to paint a resist design on fabric. I've used the Elmer's blue glue, and it drives me crazy - the dye I used to paint over it washes out quicker than the glue!!! I used Dye-na-flow, and I now have a very faded piece of fabric with hard...

"Peachy Posy" is among many FIRSTS in my life recently! We had a stormy Montana spring and those rainy skies became the inspiration for this design which began first as a sketch while longingly gazing out the window. It represents many "firsts" in my life, one of which was a time...

Caren- Your efforts with marbling look good. A demonstrator at a recent Sewing Expo used shaving cream for a silk screen project.

Hi... again. You are speaking my language here! I say, thicken it. It will stay where you intend it to be if you thicken it. With MX dyes, you must batch but unlike with some paints this doesn't mean heat setting, it means placing in a sealed container over night.

I died the center 1/3 of each piece. I used cotton yarn to tie off each end of the third and put the center...

Oops Jim, about the scorching! I guess I should have said that when I nuke it, I nuke it with the fabric in the dye solution and clingfilm on top! Think of it like you would cook food. you need to be sure there is some water going on in there. The colver makes it so the steam stays in to dish. Some people...

Jim, I did some fabric with Easter egg dyes someone sent me from America. I did it how the box said for eggs. It worked well for wool and silk. According to the article, Which I don't think I can get here, what do you do differently for fabric? I still have a few tablets left. thanks,

I recently read an article about dyeing fabric with easter egg dye, but for the life of me cannot find the article now. I have 10 yards of cheese cloth, 14 boxes of easter egg dye kits (all the supermarket had left over at .49 cents ea.) and spare time all at once; but for the life of me cannot find...
