Hello from Kansas in the USA. I want to try using this on cotton fabric to use in my quilts.

[@TheBluestflamingos]

Quick note for whoever might need it: If you are an artist with a collection of high quality acrylic paints you would like to use, there are plenty of tutorials on how to do so by mixing it with Fabric Medium. However, its usally recommended that you don't try this with cheaper acrylics, so this is more useful for people who are already invested in canvis painting.

If you have acrylics at home you can buy only fabric medium and mix with acrylics to turn them into fabric paints. Also I do not recommend to buy cheap fabric paint because some of them are low quality. Pebeo, Arteza, Jacquard - these are brands you can trust for sure

[@mariagarli6918]

I've read pebeo fabric paints need to be ironed or baked in oven for 5 minutes in order for the paint to stay. Is it necessary? Will the paint fade if I don't iron it ??

Yes there is a possibility that paint will fade or some layers get off if you didn't iron. If you can't iron (fabric can't be ironed or its hard to iron it) you can also use hairdryer to heatset

You know the problem is more likely to appear on tshirts, sweatshirts, hoodies. For some reason pebeo black opaque sticks to denim better .

@@soockamasook2001 painting whole piece of clothing with paint is a bad idea. Because its hard to make it smooth and fabric also gets stiffer.

@@kausercassim9775 I don't use markers simply because I don't like lines made with markers and I prefer to make them with small brush. But if you don't have artistic skills probably it will be easier for you at the beginning to make lines with markers (but you won't be able to paint dark clothes only white or light color clothes , because there are no markers for dark clothes). Regarding pencil, do you draw free hand on clothes or use transfer paper? The lines should be actually barely visible, just enough for you to see them and outline them. And transfer paper makes pretty visible lines. If you draw freehand you can try using soft pencil, but again don't make very dark lines, or your artwork will look messy at the end.

I have always used acrylics for fabric. Never had a problem. Fabric paint IS acrylic paint. It is really how you take care of the fabric that makes the difference.

[@Dariacreative]

Fabric paint is acrylic paint but different. Its doesnt make artwork too stiff, it is much more flexible. So in my opinion if you want to paint on all kind of clothes and be able to wash it in a washing machine you should use fabric paints. Or at least mix acrylics with fabric medium. By the way you can try to use fabric paints and see yourself the difference

[@bagobeans]

@@Dariacreative Sorry, I have to disagree. I have been painting longer than you've been alive. Not to be rude, but if you use quality acrylics, you get beautiful work. My shirts have never cracked or peeled. I can wash them with no problems. After you paint on the shirt, you let dry for 24 hours, no need to iron. Fabric paint fades over time, you said so yourself, but acrylics don't. I know what I am saying. It's all in the quality. ⚘

[@Dariacreative]

@@bagobeans I don't want to argue because it is also depends on the artwork itself. How many layers of paint do you use, what kind of fabric you paint on. For example not so long ago painting on jeans pockets was a big trend. And people were using acrylics ,using too much paint and applying too many layers.And as a result pockets were so stiff and sticky, they couldn't even sit to don't glue themselves to the chairs ) So there are many factors of course. May be your painting technique is ok to be done with acrylics

[@bagobeans]

@@Dariacreative We just have our own opinions. You have your way, I have mine. Just saying that acrylics are not bad on cloth if done correctly. Fabric paint is fine, but it does have it's drawbacks.
