Here are two place mats I made. I was disappointed that the color didn't stay bright.

The color should not flake after it is heat set. The was melts into the fabric and stays there! I have used it many times.

I think I would use the color pencils I would think that crayons would flake off. I would like to see how it would look on fabric.

I think the crabapple hill quilt pattern said to colour first with a white crayon. In my test piece I could not see a difference between the with or without white crayon patches. Does anyone know why she said to use the white crayon?
Froggyintexas, this is shameful I know but I do not know how to pm someone and can't find directions any where. I would love more info on using the crayons on fabric. |
I learned, the hard way, to protect the ironing board cover with foil before the paper towels. Advantage is no stains on new cover and the foil helps melt the crayon.

Thanks to all board menbers. I always learn something almost every time I read it even if it was my question.

My mom and her sister started the state flowers quilt blocks back in the 30s and I finished them in the 60s. The crayon was heat set by using a hot iron with the fabric between two sheets of waxed paper. My family used this quilt for about thirty years (into the 90s) before the background muslin wore out. The colored portion was still in good shape.

Sinceresissy your kitties are very cute even if they didn't turn out just as you had hoped.
Thank you madamekelly. I hadn't tried a test on a coloured block yet so I will get my white crayon out and do some coloring today. |
