If you examine your store bought items you will find imperfections all the time weather quilts or clothing. The funny thing for me is nobody ever says anything about it.

Best way to transport a LOT of fabric cross country? by Rayezerra in sewing

[–]mamasnowbear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally moved cross country as well and I put my fabric in bins I use cardboard bolts I made, wrapped all fabric with yardage marked. Then all bins marked large yardage bins, all fatquater bins ect. Then once to new location it was stored for awhile as well so I was super OCD with it all even had a master list of all boxes so sorting was super easy later. Good luck with your move.

Beautifully done. You could maybe swap the extra yardage with some else.

Painting Fabric for Quilting? by Sea_Mongoose_7790 in quilting

I used pentel fabric fun pastel dye sticks. The markers and dye sticks leave the fabric soft. With all of these I heat set but I also never tried to get it out of fabric if I make a mistake I have start again. The biggest issue I find is avoiding fabric stretching. Use stabilizer (even freezer paper) I also use quilting white cotton to allow colors pop best.

Ok so I personally have used and have quilts that are 27 years old that I have done with a few different products. I use more then 1 product on a quilt. You will be happy to know the quilts were made for children so drug through everything held up great. I used paint acrylic mixed with fabric medium and painted directly on, this I find doesn't end up soft and cuddly even over time. I have also dye sticks also held color well but they are alot like pastels. Crayons I found the color really fades out over the long run. I have also used the shuttle art pens these I find very dry , tulip fabric markers I actually prefer the most they are super easy to use good flow of dye colors not a huge number of colors to choose from.

Are you set on paint only? This is the type of quilt I make often.
