New member with a fabric paint issue!
Hi everyone,
I've finally joined up after reading many helpful posts from the sidelines! A lot of questions that I've had have been answered by this forum and for that I would like to say a big thank you!
I've got a bit of an issue at the moment with a quilt that I have just finished. The quilt is a "Tardis" quilt that I've made (secretly) for a friend of mine who is a big fan of Dr Who. The issue I'm having with it is the white fabric paint that I used to make the "Police Box" sign. I made the sign using a freezer paper template and Dylon white fabric paint. The paint is supposedly washable after setting it with an iron. I did two coats of fabric paint, setting it with the iron in between each coat, and then washed it to check that it had worked. It faded slightly after the wash so I decided to do another coat of paint. I set it with the iron as before, but didn't rewash it as I thought it would be fine.
I finished the quilting and binding yesterday and popped it in the wash today...I pulled it out of the machine and saw that the paint had peeled off in several areas. I think my current plan would be to repaint the areas that have peeled off and set it with the iron again, and then wash it again to see if it has worked. I guess I'm basically asking if anyone has any other ideas or experience with the dylon fabric paint.
