Suggestion: The flower imprints might be more permanent if you dip the fabric afterwards in a white vinegar bath. The vinegar will act as a mordant. XXOO

[@sherivegasartist]

Mary Raab that’s a great tip

[@mounikadurvasula2837]

Can we use anything other than vinegar..

[@domenicasciaraffiapaecke8976]

pure vinegar? or mixed up with water?

[@maryraab9066]

@@domenicasciaraffiapaecke8976 Generally use 1 part vinegar to 4 parts water. This is an excellent and helpful article. :) www.allnaturaldyeing.com/mordants-fixatives/

[@xenialzr2159]

I would use a mixture of alum and vinegar. In my country this is how they fix natural dyes. This mixture is also used in the hammerless ecoprint. 😉😉

[@FlowerFarmerAmy]

Many fabrics have a coating on them from the manufacturer. Wash the fabric first, with cold water, dry, and iron. You have removed the coating that interferes with a good transfer. After you have made your imprint, soak it for an hour in a vinegar solution, then let it air dry. Iron the fabric with wax paper on the top-side and bottom-side of the imprint. The vinegar and heat help set the colors. Gently handwash in cold water when needed.

[@GhostGamerzGG]

Dipping it in vinegar ruins it, it just get absorbed everywhere and just blur out

[@maryaldaco7228]

I tried this with pansy & wax paper to cover the flower and lightly iron it. I don’t know if I was lucky or if it always works, but it was on a sundress that belonged to my mother, on linen. The dress is over 110 years old & it was so pretty.

[@sherivegasartist]

that sound like it would be so pretty

[@Tentmakerindia]

Of all the different demonstrations and teaching I saw in the youtube, yours is the best and an excellent result. What a smart idea. The flower edges are so sharp and with more details. As Mary Raab mentioned it might be a good idea to dip the fabric in vinegar bath, and certainly it will act as a mordant. Let me try that. Thank you so much for demonstrating. God Bless You.

[@ShellyCline]

This was amazing, and the possibilities seem endless. Those dianthus flowers really seemed to make a gorgeous imprint. Now I think I'm going to have to buy a plant at the nursery just for this 🥰

[@sukumac9013]

You can also put tracing paper or baking paper on the fabric before you hammer and it prevents spreading unwanted color that is stuck on the end of your hammer. :)

[@themcollection999]

Nature have much power to give us benefits but some people know that . You done a excellent job. Thanks

[@mishelhans8134]

Try eco printing with leaves..the results come out so well..it's incredible ❤️❤️

[@littlemissLVee]

How do you do that? Interested

[@lesleebrown2867]

Thank you! I have pressed pansies and always wanted to transfer the beauty to fabric. Can't wait to make something!

[@G__113]

This video was very informational I will have to try this to make a tapestry for my room

[@Cynana-1950]

Thank you, is the best Ecoprint video for me!!! From Chile. ❤❤❤

[@myettedupain4844]

After all that ! When the fabric has to be washed, does the imprint of the flowers remain? Or do I have to do something else before washing it ? Thank you for your reply !

[@lanregbenga-okunola5469]

Great idea and very easy too. Thank you.

[@brigittestembergar2594]

Stunning, can't wait to try! Thank you. 😊

[@faridahmed4287]

Have you used a ready to dye fabric. And have you used any fixation with your fabric after your hammering task is completed.

[@valliramasundram8590]

Wow it is so pretty, thank you for sharing.

[@fatimasajid1546]

Can you do the same with leaves? And does one need to dip the fabric in vinegar

[@suzanpurdy2536]

so simply lovely....thanks for sharing your handiwork, I want to try it out and will start small as advised.

[@Simon05784]

See, you can use a hammer for every problem. 🙂 I think I would love to do a single leaf on a white t shirt just like a logo.

[@nailaahmadUK]

Wow, I want to try this.

[@Simon05784]

Great!👍🏼 I've got a tip! I've got a tip I haven't tried...yet. How about after, go over the coloured section with a clear candle, then Iron, heat press it being careful like a heat transfer?🤔

[@TheTravelingTwoEweKnit]

Great project for a whimsical look! I love it.

[@mariahiotaki4432]

🎁excellent,that’s exactly what I was looking for. Thank you

[@calma_sempre]

Отличный урок! Я использую малярный скотч вместо изоленты) Чем фиксируйте био орнамент на ткани, уксусом?

[@LipsitaArt]

It's amazing how you dyed the fabric with flowers. Thanks for sharing. new friend here. let's stay connected

[@vytejan4376]

Hey! I see someone has mentioned dipping the cloth in vinaigrette helps to prolong the work & colours. If there anything else that can be done so the flower pigments don’t disappear after machine wash? Thanks ☺️

[@shravanip9444]

Very cute . But does these colors stay for long?? And do they become dark over time which i personally wouldn't like.... Please let me know

[@shielabryant1246]

To make the color last longer you would need to mordant the fabric before hand

[@samuelasanderinos1521]

@@shielabryant1246 so soak the fabric in vinegar and salt before hammering the flowers in? And resoak in vinegar and salt after hammering them in?

[@cynthiahms]

Do we need to prepare the fabric in some way before hammering the flowers on it? Wash it first?

[@nakhrawakhra6941]

Same question...can anyone help please?

[@maartusiia6434]

Wow 😍😍😍 great technique

Hey this is so beautiful… i tried out this method but What can we do stop colour bleeding? When i wash with washing powder it turned out to someother colour… could you please help me with this!?

[@swatiprabhu9955]

Its nice and simple. Is there any substitute for vinegar?

[@vikastaruvar6369]

Very nice art from flowers

[@ngoisaomai2012]

I love listening to your lovely voice👌

[@anamarie8]

Hi Sherri. Is this fabric pretreated and did you do anything after hammering and removing the flowers (like rinse or wash) thanks Ana

[@cemantingartbatikcraftecop6164]

@@chrissywrites or maybe this video before she did workshop?.. I wonder what type of fixated after thathammering procces...

[@restiwilujeng6456]

Hello im from indonesia. I have question ,Do you use a mixture, so that the color of the flower does not fade?.

[@laurad-l-m814]

Good question?

[@pratibhanegi7003]

It's called mordant or dye fixatives. There are various chemical fixatives available in the market otherwise you can use alum or iron as natural mordants

[@mariaannainditahernawati7132]

pake tawas atau cuka mbak

[@chrysanthflora117]

@@mariaannainditahernawati7132 full cuka atau bisa dicampur air ya?

If you used vinegar and salt, the paint would be fixed.

[@michaeldenney6622]

ive seen your vide and was hoping to use this method to adorn a linen men dinner jacket thoughts?jackets arent laundered all that often

[@yumisucculents9759]

I did once.. but why the colours turned brown or dark? ☹

[@peregrinefalcon6747]

Hello, can one use dried flowers to dye hair brown? If so, what flowers would I be able to use?

[@carotrike]

I wonder what would happen if you hand washed your dyed items in a citric acid solution. I use this for helping with the colour fastness of knitting yarn, when I dye with acid dye.

[@FlowerFarmerAmy]

Fabric stores (for quilting) sell products to help set the colors.

[@cemantingartbatikcraftecop6164]

Hi Sheri.. Beautiful napkin then... O what name of that fabric? The fabric which is not highly wash for this projects?.. Pearson me, coz I couldn't hear enaugh what u said.. 🙏

[@Melissa0774]

The reason I found this video is because I just saw another video on the history of poinsettias where they said that people used to use them to dye fabric. I wonder how this technique would work with them.
