Default Chalk Paint

Have any of you used this paint? I saw several pieces of furniture painted with it on Pinterest. What really caught my interest was the use of it on fabric. The paint is made as "Annie Sloan Paint".

This lady had an ugly brown chair w/wicker sides and brown upholstered seat and back. She painted the wicker and wood a creamy ivory and then when dry used a light turq on the fabric. No mention of anything else to cover the brown fabric (i.e., a priimer) and the light colored paint covered it. The results were beautiful and said that the fabric felt like suede. There was also a reference to some sort of wax but didn't follow this point.

I have a chair that is slipcovered since I do not like the print. It is my favorite quilting chair as it has very small arms that do not get in my way when appliqueing or doing handwork. It could be called a slipper chair. I am thinking it is a good candidate to paint.

So, have you of used this paint? I'm anxious to hear of your experience.
