How do you set the color when using them for fabric? Quilts are eventually washed and I wondered if the colors held up?

I haven't washed a quilt yet but I have used on clothing and the color held up and did not fade.

I have no idea if this can be done as these are water soluble products. If you want to do permanent fabric art, you might want to check either an art store for a product or google to educate yourself on your particular needs and what works. In the latter case, try words in your search like "materials for fabric art" or whatever is your need. good luck.

once they dry they should be permanent but you can heat set them as an extra measure

I honestly don't have an answer. I have not used these on fabric. My kids use them as face paint. Sorry I couldn't help you.

I have only used the markers on cotton quilting fabric. For that I had great results. I am sorry I could not be of more help. Good luck if you give it a try.

These Utopia sheets are nice THICK 100% cotton. I do machine quilting. These would make a great duvet cover. Wash and machine dry them first in case of shrinkage, then iron it before sewing or tying. I have washed and dried them a number of times and they are still like new.

I think sage would work but the sage in the quilt is the least noticeable color. I think many colors would work. Red would make it richer and sage would tone it down perhaps. I have rust sheets and it looks fine!

I just received mine, and though that's not what I bought this set for, I tested with the iron and it definitely took it off my ironing board fabric. It is true, though, that the manufacturer doesn't suggest using them for fabric. I do all the time but it isn't intended for that so there are some fabrics that it won't come off of.

I work with 100% cotton fabric and they do hold. I'm not sure how they would hold with silk or similar fabrics. Pins might be a better option for finer fabrics.

I didn't tye dye, but I did dye a few solid colors. The dye takes well to them, because they are cotton. I would think tye dying would work just as well.

I throw them in the washing machine, color cycle, warm. Dryer, low heat. No problem. They work great.

I spray them with a pre-treat - I use Oxyclean Spray. I wash them with my towels but do not use fabric softener on them, then air dry. That works for me! They are never real white again but I know that they are clean to re-use.

I wash in warm water. Unless your home washing machine is a small size, you should be able to use it. These quilts hold up well in washing. We have dogs so the quilt gets washed weekly.

I'm not sure about how this shows up on fabric, I only use them on paper and I don't think fabric was the intended use. I can't imagine the yellow showing up on dark fabric if the orange didn't. Good luck

I use warm water on a regular wash cycle. I don't machine dry them, seems like I saw somewhere not to, also not to use hot water, though that might be your first instinct. Most of the time they're completely dry in a couple hours when I hang them over a chair to dry, outside drying is great if your weather permits it.

I have 4 of these and I have washed them. Use cold water if they are not very dirty and a mild detergent. I used a small amount of vinegar as the rinse agent. You have to make sure that you thoroughly dry the comforter. Use very low heat setting on the dryer or hang outside if you live in a dry climate. My comforters did shrink a little, but they did so evenly and it was because I used warm water for the wash setting. These are wonderful comforters, I will never go back to down. They are so comfortable and well made and they get even softer after washing. You don't have to wash them very often, use sunshine and fresh air for the majority of the cleaning. Hope this helped? BTW: I have a front load washer - I think it is a bit gentler than the top loaders.

Hi, I use a lot of this fabric for various projects and yes, I use the handwash cycle in my washer.. and cold water, but then I wash most of my clothes in cold water. Also, when you have finished adding the image to your Photo Fabric, give it a good ironing with a nice hot iron. This really seals the color into the fabric. Hope this helps!

I'm sorry, but I don't know enough about these to answer your question. I know they are colorfast when ironed after drying. I usually add water to them to paint them on fabric that I am going to do needlework on top of. They mix well with water and each other. They will bleed if there is too much volume for the fabric. Nothing comes off once they are dry. Hope that helps.

There are small bunches of purple lilac flowers across the whole quilt. Also the pink in the quilt is a shade that blends nicely with the color purple.I think it's a great quilt for the price, and I looked extensively for a replacement quilt with these colors when my previous quilt finally became too worn and stained.Good luck!

We have several of them and washed and dried them about 6 times and they still look like new. Wash on warm, dry on hot. That's all we did.
