Crap. I wanted to batik my old organic cloth baby carrier to make it unique for a friend who is having a baby. I have the powder dye, and I learned how to do the painting process in school (art) but we just used paper towels to soak up the old wax 😂 we never washed it!? So today I started wondering, well, isn’t all that dye going to bleed onto her clothes if she sweats? And onto all her clothes when she washes it!? Which led me to your video and now I’m worried I bit off more than I can chew. So what is this soaking process? Do you still get most of the wax off with paper towels? Guess I will search your videos!
