I am making a signature quilt for a dear friend that has cancer, I made strips and sold therm, gave the people different colors of fabric markers, but they all didn't use mine, they used sharpies and such. Is there any thing I can spray on the quilt, or anything I can do to the quilt to makes these signatures permanent? :wink:
|
Perhaps a textile medium which can be found in the art department of craft stores......
|
don't know the answer either, but I would take a photo of each signed block and make a memory book in addition to the quilt. This way everything would be preserved.
|
Sharpies can be as permanent as many of the other markers. You need to heat set with your iron.
|
sharpies are permenent-
and if markers were used that are not permenent ink you can always go over them with permenent ink markers- heat set- sometimes people embroidery over signatures for siggy quilts too- |
Thank you so much, that is a really good idea.I will do that too.
|
I will heat set them, but I have over 325 signatures, so embroidery is not a option. Thank you. I have to get this finished now, her cancer is spreading.
