weelllll painting on fabric, is a friggin nightmare...but maybe you'll be a pro. I had nothing but problems. Now silk.....no idea I only used it on cotton. Remember you have to get that other stuff, Fabric Medium (yes that's what it's called, Martha S. also makes it) to mix with it...so it will adhere to the fabric and not wash off. I think if you have patience, you'll do great, I have has much patiences has a 5 year old on Christmas morning. SO good luck.

Yes, acrylic paints can be used on fabric. The key is to not try to get too heavy of a coat at once. Do a couple of thin coats and allow some dry time between coats. Happy Decorating!

IF you plan to continue your art and you can afford it (it is a good price), I'd suggest the greater variety of colors. For me wider choices engaged me to experiment with how to use, learn more, and enjoy the craft. Lay down your color with the pencils and watch what happens when next you use a brush, (the best are the ones with a water resevoir in the 'handle'). Experiment. You can put a wash over all the colors and watch what happens. Colors keep their integrity too. You can reapply color for another layer over the wash. You can start or end with permanent ink too. So many possibilities. So why limit the color choices? The medium is non-toxic and relatively non-messy. A small jar of water. A few paper towels, the pens, your water color paper, the brush and you've a portable new pastime. You can take it anywhere, it travels well, or stay on your sofa. If you decide it's not for you, give it to a young artist, it'll make someone else's day.

Rena, I have mixed paint with a thinner and did some airbrushing on paper and it worked out fine. I was amazed how light I could go with the paint just by pushing the trigger a little bit, more trigger= more paint..

These markers are meant for a hard surface. I haven't tried them on fabric but my suggestion would be to use white paint markers or white acrylic paint if you want to mark on fleece. None of these will come out however. These aren't dusty like chalk but more like a paint marker.

Well, acrylic paint is like a rubber type of paint. Now there are many shower curtains that you don't want to get wet and they are in use. I suppose you could paint on it, but you would not want to have a pattern down were it usually gets wet a lot. You certainly can use it on a curtain that you place outside and it is for decoration and then have the thin clear inside panel. Seems like a lot of work in doing your art for this use which might not last. Also, inside of each tube there is not a lot of paint. This set is good for doing small pictures, but won't go very far. I don't think this is the set for you. The acrylic paint that is very rubbery is a bit expensive for what you probably need. Hope this lets you think a little, but I am guessing more if I was to want to do what you asked.

I normally place about 4 blouses in the bag at a time and yes you can use it for silk. Just make sure you hand wash anything that has a spot in it. This really is only for general washing but does work great and save a fortune in dry cleaning!

I used it on a graphite drawing on cotton and it worked well. Apply in even strokes and use 2-3 coats for best coverage.

You can use this, however, hard coat would be better. But the very best thing to use if you are going to do fabric is VARATHANE (water based interior diamond polyurethane) from Rust-Oleum.

I asked the person who paints in our family. He said that as far as he knows, you can use the oil paints on the canvas. maybe go online and research the issue with Darice manufacturer.

There are a few different thickness of the brushes so u can draw various strokes. I think it more depends on practice than the tools. But if u want perfect straight lines, u need to cheat... Using tapes to mask out he area u want to paint. It is more work to prepare but easier to achieve perfect lines.

Fabric is a light weight bleached muslin. It could be painted as a backdrop, but would advise sizing before you paint if it's a detailed image. Would take aniline dyes well too.

I did not use for that purpose and expensive is relative. I was happy with the result ls on a 300 jacket. That said. If I had a 1000 chair, I would find and indiscriminate part and apply a sample into a crevice. I found that it worked universally well on fades (no cracks), seams (like cracks), and edges near zippers. What I found that if you had a 2x2 area, work that in one step for universal sheen. Good luck. Try something old if you have it before the chair. $20 is not a big investment even for a swatch

I'm not aware of the frixion pens for fabric. I use these pens for writing purposes only and they work well.

FYI silk is a THREAD, satin is a WEAVE. In order to make fabric, you take a type of thread, and weave it in a certain way. It is entirely possible to have a satin-weave fabric that is made of 100% silk threads. If what you actually want is a silk vs polyester test, that is something entirely different - and as another responder pointed out, the only way you are going to know for certain is if you burn it.

I think yes. Only need less water to dilute. I processed silk fabrics for silk flowers. After processing the tissue tough but flexible and not rustle.
