How to Use Fabric Paint in Slow Stitching Projects

A step-by-step demonstration on how to use Dye-na-Flow Fabric Paint on fabric to create your own custom dyed fabric. The results are beautiful, colourful and perfect for using in Slow Stitching. Along with the Paints (The Exciter pack of 9), I'm using a stencil brush, some plain white fabric, water and an iron. This project is perfect for recycling or repurposing clothing or bed sheets too. Relax, paint and dye along and be inspired to create your own fabric swatches! Make sure to stay to the end to see a sneak peek of my latest stitching project (video coming soon).

Thank you Jo. I live in a small coastal town in Victoria, Australia. Will try the link. Very difficult to get supplies here😂❤

[@peaceofpi-studio]

Maybe one of the online options for Australia on this page will carry it www.jacquardproducts.com/online-only-stores I hope you find some! 😊💜🧵🪡

Love your projects - thanks, especially for the tips on integrating color. But, not "everything" has to be "little" or "little-tiny". 🙂

[@sarahebelewicz3112]

I'm loving the videos. Many thanks for sharing.. I have heard mention of Freezer paper several times. What exactly is it? I'm in the UK and prefer not to use Amazon. Would appreciate your help. Thanks.

[@peaceofpi-studio]

I’ve heard it’s called “Grease Proof Paper” in the UK. It’s inexpensive where I live and found at the grocery store in the section where you buy food wrap. One side is wax coated and the other side is paper. Hope that helps!😊🧵🪡

[@alteriormotiveswithcarrie8546]

I love the colors you have in this set of paints, can you tell me what set it is? I can't find it on Amazon. They have lots of metallic and pearlescent paints in Jacquard but I love this set you have.

[@peaceofpi-studio]

It’s the Exciter Pack. www.jacquardproducts.com/dyenaflow-exciter-packs on the product page there’s a Where to Buy button. Hopefully you can find some. They really are vibrant and beautiful.

[@christinedempsey4151]

Thank you very much Jo. Have been searching for a video like this. Where did you purchase your dyes? ❤

[@peaceofpi-studio]

I got the set (Dye-na-Flow Exciter Pack) from a local art supply store (BC Canada) called Opus. Here’s a link to Jacquard, the manufacturer’s site. There’s a Where to Buy button on that page that might be helpful to find where to get it near you. www.jacquardproducts.com/dyenaflow-exciter-packs

[@SS-mk1rq]

Would that be permanent? Washable? Thank you so much 😊

[@peaceofpi-studio]

After heat setting it’s permanent. I haven’t tried washing but most likely washing in cold water would be ok. 😊🧵🪡

[@SS-mk1rq]

@@peaceofpi-studiothank you a million times 🙏🏽🪡🧵🌳

[@churndash6746]

That looks like a whole lot of palaver to get fabric that was almost one colour at the end. Still it could be interesting.

[@peaceofpi-studio]

Using lots of water blends the colours to give subtle variations within an overall solid colour (in this case green). Not using water would make a multicoloured effect.

[@churndash6746]

@@peaceofpi-studio I realised that it was the water but there were so many interesting colours at the start that I was disappointed that the effect was lost by the end - I was intrigued to see how you would include the spots of different colours in the piece. I regret the way I phrased my comment because I am really looking forward to seeing how the project evolves.
