Tape does hold fabric in place. I like cardboard as a backing support when painting. Cardboard can be a box, they are strong and don't bend easily.
Hope this helps. Please let me know how I can help.
Have a blessed day.
Oh thank you! Never thought of backing the fabric with cardboard, that should be really good. Will definitely give that a go next time. I think I can probably find fabric brushes online, my local shops don't seem to know about them (even though one sells setacolors!).
And thank you so much for offering further help. it's sooo good to know I can come back with more questions. :)
