It is only necessary if the fabric to be decorated is to be laundred or dry cleaned.

Features:

• 250ml Bottle with flip cap

• Can be used on garments, calico bags, denim, canvas and natural fibres

• Dries in 24 hours

• Approximate coverage: 1 ml = 188 sq cm

Directions:

• Pre-wash fabric to remove sizing. Do not use fabric softener.

• Mix a minimum of 2 parts Chroma’s Jo Sonja Artists’ Colors with 1 part Textile Medium. Painting a test strip is recommended.

• The addition of Textile Medium may stiffen painted area.  This will soften with washing.

• Apply to fabric ensuring paint penetration of fibers.  Allow to dry a minimum of 24 hours.

• All Purpose Sealer may be applied to the edges of your cut fabric to prevent fraying. Seal 1/4” (1/2 cm) beyond cut edges.

Heat Setting Instructions:

• Excessive temperature can cause color change; pre-testing is recommended as follows:

• Using your dry test strip, cover painted area with a cloth or brown paper.  Start with low heat setting, gradually increasing temperature until color begins to “shift”.  Then lower the temperature slightly and make note of your iron setting.

• Iron decorated area for a minimum of 2 minutes on this setting.
