Block Printing Tip- Heat Setting Printed Fabric

[@ulookgreat]

That's really helpful - thanks. I haven't been using steam on mine, although I have had the iron pretty hot. Definitely need to spend more time on heat setting!

[@susanturner9150]

Really helpful, I always thought you needed to iron on the reverse and no steam. Thank you.

[@pameastham7489]

Thanks for the info. I always wondered about steam.

[@kathrynmcfarlane9906]

Very helpful, thank you so much.

[@keithpanting2029]

I always thought no steam so this is really useful.

[@heatherwalker1619]

That was great - I definitely have not been heat setting my printed items properly!

[@joloveseyart]

Really useful. On the essdee fabric ink though it says to use non steam and something in-between?

[@theindianblockprintco]

Hello, it is always best to follow the instructions for various paints you use, we do not use or stock essdee paints but if that is what it says on the bottle then it is always best to take the advice shown on the packaging. With our own paints, we always recommend heat setting your fabric :)

[@joloveseyart]

@@theindianblockprintco thank you. It still has to be heat set but just says without steam and on reverse.

Can you iron it with a cricut iron? Or does it have to have steam?

[@theindianblockprintco]

Hello, we have never used a cricut iron before so we wouldn't want to say yes just in case, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. You just need to get direct heat on your prints to ensure they are fully heat set :)

I am from India. Very inspired with your tutorials. Can you please share the Jaipur contact for me to get the printing blocks and learn in person

How do you headset baby items

[@theindianblockprintco]

Hello, you can heat set baby items the same way by using an iron (always look at the garment instructions) otherwise, you can tumble dry them but you do need to ensure the items get really hot!

[@Gleamiarts]

Is it possible to hear set better with a heatpress?

[@theindianblockprintco]

Ideally you would use an iron, but a heat press would most likely work well too :)

[@poonamm4698]

Ma'am Iron on front side or opposite side?

[@theindianblockprintco]

Front side, directly over the paint making sure each print gets really hot - as hot as your fabric can handle without burning it.

[@kayladeliz860]

Wait what type of paint did she use

[@theindianblockprintco]

Hello, it is our own water based fabric paint which can be purchased via our website www.theindianblockprintco.com Very best wishes
