paint, I really appreciate them.
I even received a couple of email with helpful tipe.
We should be going to town in a few days, and I will sure check the
craft stores out.
Kris I checked your web site out, and not only enjoyed your cute
little penguin, but quite a few more beautiful items.
You have really been busy, and it all looks so nice.
Thanks for the information.
Happy Rockin! Betty \0/

> The new Plaid Folk Art Fabric paints are fabulous! They come in
both brush on and dimensional paints so you can embellish to your
hearts content! I've done a penguin tote bag class with them and the
students loved them! Usually you set the paint with heat (either
dryer or iron) and then they are washable in low temp water. You
wouldn't want to iron the dimensional paint because that would
flatten it out and defeat the purpose of it. But if you are only
using the brush on paint setting with an iron is quick and easy.
Because I don't expect my bags to need washing a lot I've decided to
just hand wash in cold water and hang up to dry. I haven't used the
bags enough to wash yet so I haven't washed them yet but others I've
talked to about these paints say they are very good at staying on.
Also, the So Soft paints I've heard work very well too. I've also
used fabric medium mixed in with regular FA paints and they seem to
hold just fine.
