Nine Steps to success using Derwent Inktense Pencils
http://www.pencils.co.uk/files/uploa...rature/690.pdf

Using Inktense Pencils on Fabric (Derwent literature)
http://www.pencils.co.uk/files/uploa...rature/671.pdf

Colour the whole piece and let it dry for approx 24 hours to ensure it has set properly.

Once dry, heat set it with an iron on the wool setting, using a piece of calico between the iron and the work to protect the quilt. Press and hold for about 20 seconds at a time. Do not be too forceful a gentle action is all that is required.

The fabric medium makes the image stiff which is ideal for a hanging piece, however if you prefer a softer feel, the stiffness will release upon washing (on a cool wool setting) without damaging the colours.
