I've used RoseArt crayons, they are the cheaper ones at Walmart, set with heat, no steam using a paper towel. Press one the towel, move towel to clean area and press again until no more color comes off. Hope this helps.
this was colored using crayons [ATTACH=CONFIG]90202[/ATTACH] all put together [ATTACH=CONFIG]90203[/ATTACH] |
some fabric markers DO run - ask me how i know. plain ole everyday crayons work well. just color, turn over, place paper on top and heat set with hot iron - protect your iroing board too. i helped my grandkids color some blocks for a quilt a loooong time ago and after many washings they still hold their color.

save your money - use regular crayons - also a class i took had us iron freezer paper to the back our our blocks before we colored them and it kept them from shifting as much.

So, is everyone coloring directly on the fabric?
When my kids were younger (1970's) they used fabric crayons to color and/or draw a picture on a piece of white paper than then it was transferred to the fabric by using an iron. If you wrote any words on the picture you had to write them as a mirror image because everything was reversed after it was ironed to the fabric. |
directly on the fabric.

I did a project just recently that had crayon tinting on it. I thought it is fun and makes a nice finish.

I have neocolo 1 which is a WATER-RESISTANT WAX PASTEL,they are from Switzerland, and so far I really like them.

I have used Dritz and Crayola fabric crayons. I was hoping the look would be crisper.
|
Great look Kendra!

I have seen some special fabric crayons from Crayola, but on the package it said they worked better the higher the polyester content of your fabric was, which seemed not a good match for quilting.
I have found this thread very interesting, as I've been thinking some sort of coloring on fabric projects might be good for my kids to do as Christmas gifts. |
