I finished a table runner using a yellow background. It is TOO intense and I am thinking I could tone it down with fabric paint. Having never used any, I wondered if someone could tell me if this would work without ruining the table runner? It is totally finished now.
thanks for any help :) |
Can you post a picture of it? I've never done fabric painting but maybe there are other ideas that might come to some of us if we see it.

Finished again!! wow...that word is popular today!!! Post a pic!!

Don't know about the fabric painting....but you could sun bleach it and cool it down some.... A picture would help but you know your design best and whether it would work or not. Good luck.

I have only used the opaque white paint marker, it did tone and blend the colors. I took swatches of the fabric and played with coloring different parts of the material. I would think that any of the opaque colors would work for this. I did not take any pictures of these projects, sorry. :cry:

Another thought, would tea dying tone it down? I would try this on a scrap, first to see if you like the effect. I wonder if you took a sponge and barely dampened it and lightly sponged the material, if you could control the bleeding, and just keep it in the yellow fabric and not the surronding areas?

I have done quiet abit of fabric painting, But I've never done it on a finished item. I do mine piece by piece. I use acrylics with a textile medium, I paint or shade the picture, or said design, then create the quilt top. I'm not saying you could'nt do it. However I would suggest working with the paint on scrap pieces to check your control and brush technique. Then make your decision. I'd hate for you to mess up your quilt.
