Do Jacquard Textile Colors wash off? Fabric paint "bleeding" test 

Hi Maia! It's no problem, I understand that when you need to make just a one project, buying the whole set of paints might feel too expensive and basically unnecessary. Depending on where you're from and what offers are available in your stores or online, you could opt for these small sets: 1) Mont Marte Signature Fabric Paint (12pcs) amzn.to/3tOTC2U . These paints have a range to choose from: starting from 8 jars in a pack till 36. See the variety and the price you can afford. The amount of paints in jars should be enough for a few small projects. 2) Pebeo Setacolor Opaque starter kit, perfect for a hoodie: amzn.to/3UZujay It's at a great price right now, so a definite recommendation! I do also suggest you to watch the lessons about design heat fixing , to make sure it'll last as long as possible. And of course if you want to learn more, join the open Course Fabric Painting Foundations. Good luck!

Hello! Thank you for the kind words 🙂 All the fabric paints that you've mentioned are of good quality. Jacquard Textile Colors, Pebeo Setacolor and Mont Marte do not stiffen the fabric, SoSoft I haven't had the chance to test yet. Remember, that softness of your painting will mainly depend on application technique. Do it right, and you won't have to worry. I usually pick the paint brand depending on the task, since each of them has somewhat different characteristics. If your project will be based on a light colored textiles,than you really can choose any one of these paints, since you won't need to apply many layers of paint. For dark fabric, you'll need an opaque paint. Pebeo has a specific line for dark clothes called Setacolor Opaque. Jacquard and Mont Marte are less opaque, and will require a base coat prior. If you would like to have some deeper knowledge about these things, make sure to have a look at an open course Fabric Painting Foundations, it's free for everyone who wants to learn fabric painting from scratch and have a guidance, to avoid mistakes on the road www.fabricpaintingcoach.com/challenges Good luck! PS: If you'll have some difficulties with you project, you're welcome to post on the Forum of our fabric painting community, to get support. You may attach pictures of your work there too. www.fabricpaintingcoach.com/forum/talks Cheers!

Hello! Even though Jacquard Textile washes off (smears) if not heat set, it still doesn't go away without a trace. Mistakes on fabric are usually a big pain, especially when the project is still in the process. Seeing that I had a similar experience with this paint, I wouldn't suggest you to try and do a spot wash for the area with mistake. Since I can't see the type of issue that happened, it'll be hard to advise now. I do have a couple ideas, but for that I'll need to see the stain. Could you take a picture and post it here: www.fabricpaintingcoach.com/fabric-painting-forum/talks ? Here on Forum people usually upload their projects that they need help with and based on visual we can assist.

Hi! Yes, you can definitely paint on this hoodie. Some fabric paints are particular about synthetic fiber percentage in a garment (i.e not more than 20%), while others are suitable for either cotton, or purely synthetic clothes. Ideally, for painting are best either cotton clothes with a minimum addition of synthetics (up to 30%), or just completely synthetic textiles. Therefore, based on the type of fabric we make a choice about a brand of fabric paint. I hope it was helpful. Good luck with your project 🌿

Hello! White on black - it has to be definitely some good opaque paint. I enjoy working with Pebeo Setacolor Opaque. It'll require only 2-3 layers for bright white elements on dark denim. However,if you'll need to add some details in black color as a top layer, do not use Setacolor Opaque black paint - this is Pebeo's flaw, their black washer off if applied on top. That's why we use black paint from Setacolor Light fabrics instead. When I'll try Jacquard Super Opaque (white) I'll let you know, it's also a promising fabric paint, but I need to check their softness for it not to resemble Jacquard Neopaque. Mont Marte fabric paint could also give fine results,but the problem is that it's sold ,as far as I've encountered, only in paint sets and in a very small jar sizes ...

HI Meghann! Great, how was your experience with these paints? I'd recommend to iron the part painted with Jacquard Textile for not less than 5(!) minutes, especially since we're talking about denim. The design elements created with Tulip, don't require such a long heat setting. All other important details related to this topic I shared in this open lesson ru-vid.comUgkxIlUdIw4CFXX5VvPmhNfldNvdJfYi8_kT Good luck!

I would also love to see your project. If you're happy with it, I'm inviting everyone to share their works in our growing Fabric Art community forum! welcome www.fabricpaintingcoach.com/forum/talks

@@FabricPaintingCoach thank you so much for your reply! I painted a solid picture on the back panel of a denim jacket with the Jacquard, and painted some line work with the Tulip paint over parts of the Jacquard painting. The rest of the jacket is Tulip line painting on straight denim. And thank you; I’ll definitely check out the forum!

And it would just be any white reg tshirts we can find really

Hi! Yes, jacquard textile paint should work in your designs well. Just remember to heat fix all the painted areas 👍

Hi, on the lable of paint jar it's suggested to iron on reverse side for at least 30seconds. On practice, it should be way longer. Around 4-5minuts, on cotton setting, if you're ironing through a cotton sheet. This paint is sensitive to wash so heat setting should be very thorough

The comment above states to iron on reverse side. However, the video demonstration shoes ironing on the paint side. Which is correct? Should both sides be ironed through a cotton sheet? Thank you. @@FabricPaintingCoach

Hi! To iron on the reverse side is what's written on the label. It is ok in general, however, more often than not, paint goes to the fabric's backside, so it really isn't practical to run a hot iron on paint in any case... That's why, ironing through a cotton sheet but on the right side is more straightforward and quite effective. Doing it on both sides, though, will be a double good job, especially when it comes to Jacquard Textile. Thanks for your thoughtful question 💯👏

Which drawing? Using which material?

It will depend on the drawing tool (art materials) you're using to create a sketch with. If you'll make a sketch with regular pencil or a pen, or transfer the image onto a white t-shirt using dark colored carbon paper, and then will paint it over - such lines are likely to stay visible from under the paint layer. There are however, special pens and markers which disappear on their own, if you make them wet or over the time.

@@FabricPaintingCoach tq for you answer ;)

Hi, thanks for sharing your experience, it's so sad to hear that your painting has been ruined.... Jacquard Textile has indeed so far proved to be a tricky paint, that requires a lot of work. One thing that I can assume that could go wrong here, is not enough time of heat setting of painting. I've faced quite a few issues so far with Jacquard colors for fabric, however it also a fact based on my personal experience too, that this fabric paint doesn't wash away if it's been properly fixed.
