These are great ideas. I like that infusible ink will last much longer than vinyl, however I think it is tough to weed and or take off the liner. When I use it the infusible tears leaving the back of it on the carrier sheet. Thx

I just picked up some tea towels at Walmart to put designs on them. Thank you for the many methods to achieve beautiful tea towels. My only question is why do you peel the stencil while the paint is still wet?

[@AngieHolden]

I do try to peel when wet.

[@jelenapaulic593]

GREAT VIDEO. You are extremely helpful. Question; Can infusible ink be used on the cotton tea towels?

No. You need polyester for the process to work.

Angie thank you so much. You have given me some many ideas for our holiday gift baskets. Instead of buying I will just make things. I want to make throw pillow coverings for my grandson bed can I use infusible ink and also fabric paint?

[@AngieHolden]

If you want to use infusible ink, you will need to make sure they are made from polyester. Otherwise, it should work!

[@dianekrug5732]

Great video. Wish I could find nice tea towels. The ones I got from WM are so so thin.

[@AngieHolden]

I actually like them thin! That way they dry faster!

[@jennymoulton3060]

Hi first I love you videos there awesome. I am looking for advice, I have tried the other tea towel methods and wonderful. Now I am trying the freezer paper but when I cut it the paper rips, I have it set to freezer paper and the pressure to less do you have any other suggestions?

[@AngieHolden]

Clean your blade and stick it down better to the mat.

[@1955dmb]

Very informative video! Which method should I use for 100% cotton flour sack fabric. I will be selling the towels and want to make sure the ink or vinyl will not wash out or come off.

[@AngieHolden]

I would stencil and paint then. Silk screen would work as well.

[@1955dmb]

@@AngieHolden Thank you. I will try it!

[@christineham3758]

I echo everyone else. Great video. I love watching your videos. Which last longer & provide a better quality product - Infusible ink or Fabric paint??

[@AngieHolden]

Infusible Ink would probably last longer overall but it lasts for the life of the garment. I have some stenciled tea towels that I have had for years and they still look good.

[@christineham3758]

@@AngieHolden thank you

[@fisherlady408]

Angie you are such a great teacher! Do you know if there is a fabric paint that you could put on towel or mit that could actually be used?

[@AngieHolden]

I use these towels with the Fabric Creations from Plaid. Zero issues.

[@dawnaborman1148]

Great video. What size press should I get? At most the largest item I would make would be t-shirts. What’s your opinion? Thank you.

[@AngieHolden]

I would go with a 9x9 EasyPress or 9x12 heat press.

[@kristy2319]

Hi Angie I love ur videos all of them are so helpful. Thank u can u tell me what is the brand of fabric paint that u use please. I wanna try and make some tea towels soon. Thank u ☺️

[@AngieHolden]

I used Fabric Creations from Plaid.

[@saramedina8396]

Love watching your tutorials. Did you get any bleeding when using the fabric paint? Every time I have tried it doesn’t look as good as yours. Any recommendations?

[@AngieHolden]

I got a little bleeding on the second one but otherwise nothing. I would say the secret would be to get VERY little paint on the brush. So dip in the paint and get most of it off before starting on your stencil. Just go over the area several times instead to get the coverage you are looking for. Also a brush like these where I use an up and down motion is helpful. If you use a brush from side to side, you can also get more bleeding.

[@saramedina8396]

@@AngieHolden thank you for the info. It’s greatly appreciated

[@deenalantz7354]

LOVE the information your shared. One question, do you have any issues with the fabric paint bleeding to the back side? If so, do you have any suggestions to prevent that.

[@AngieHolden]

I do sometimes. I would say buy thicker tea towels if it bothers you . I tend to be okay with it.

[@phyllisfavorite9399]

Hi, Angie! I pulled this video up because I want to do towels, but am curious if you would provide the name of the cotton towels and the measurements of each towel that you get from Walmart. Thanks!

[@AngieHolden]

I am totally not sure! They are a large pack with a generic name.

[@shelleeboyer374]

Hey there. I love your channel! Just wondering where you got the tea towels. I don’t see the link for them.

[@AngieHolden]

They were from like 4 different sources! My favorites are from WalMart and I don't even think they sell them online. They are a bulk pack in the kitchen towel section.

[@halilenz4901]

Looks like you found some nice, thick tea towels, where did you buy them?

[@AngieHolden]

I got these a wide variety of places. The Infusible Ink one is a sublimation blank. Two of them are from Walmart and one I think from Amazon.

[@carolschafer4667]

Great tutorial!! Thanks so much! I do have a question....as far as durability, which type is best? Will the iron on, infusible ink or paint last the longest?

[@AngieHolden]

Infusible Ink will last the longest. Then probably the paint. Then the HTV. But all will last a really long time.

[@YolandaGarcia-gb3zr]

You do such a great job explaining everything. Thank you

[@blkbrn1952]

I'd love to do the stenciling and make some presents for Christmas. Is there any particular fabric content that is better than others?

[@AngieHolden]

If you are stenciling, you can use whatever towels you would like. I would recommend a smooth surface so the paint doesn't seep as bad!

[@lorifujita6841]

Love all your videos. So informative. I want to try this with the stencil and fabric paint. Any brand you like better than others?

For fabric paint, I do like Fabric Creations from Plaid.

[@laniec.f.2531]

These are sweet! I am new to all of this. I have a handwritten recipe from a long-passed family member. Is there a way to transfer that onto a piece of fabric or tea towel? Ideas and search suggestions welcomed. You're a great teacher, by the way. Also, this may be a question with an obvious answer, but I am new so will ask anyway. What is the difference in the stencils between freezer paper versus vinyl?

[@AngieHolden]

You can take a picture and upload the recipe to Design Space. It may take some time to clean it up enough to cut. Then you could do the HTV or the stenciling methods with it I would think! I don't think there is a difference between the stencil methods other than preference. I actually prefer the freezer paper but sometimes people can't find it or they want to use what they already have at home.

Just everyday.

[@roscoe5459]

Is there a method you think washes better than others without bleeding?

[@AngieHolden]

None of these should bleed at all. Infusible Ink or Sublimation would last longer most likely but they would all hold up for a long time.

[@daniellejarrett9886]

For polyester tea towel can you sublmiate on bothe sides?

[@AngieHolden]

You can. Careful when you do the other side. Be sure to use protective paper to keep the ink from getting on your press or mat.
