  • Re: shaving creme marbling

    Caren- Your efforts with marbling look good. A demonstrator at a recent Sewing Expo used shaving cream for a silk screen project. She mentioned that it is not necessary to scrape off the excess cream as it evaporates in time. There is a residue of filminess left behind which comes off after heat setting...

  • Re: Setting fabric dyes

    Hi... again. You are speaking my language here! I say, thicken it. It will stay where you intend it to be if you thicken it. With MX dyes, you must batch but unlike with some paints this doesn't mean heat setting, it means placing in a sealed container over night.

  • Re: Dyeing with easter egg dye

    It did not do as I expected. The primaries that made up the colors did weird things on their own in the grn, orange and purple. The color brightened somewhat, and it streaked in the secondaries . I died the center 1/3 of each piece. I used cotton yarn to tie off each end of the third and put the center...

  • Re: Dyeing with easter egg dye

    Oops Jim, about the scorching! I guess I should have said that when I nuke it, I nuke it with the fabric in the dye solution and clingfilm on top! Think of it like you would cook food. you need to be sure there is some water going on in there. The colver makes it so the steam stays in to dish. Some people...
