How it is done:
- Wash the textiles without conditioner before painting to remove all residue of finishes. Then leave to dry and iron. Now place a piece of cardboard inside or underneath the textile to prevent the paint from seeping through to the back. Stretch the fabric on a smooth surface with masking tape to make sure it is smooth.
- Use the brush and the textile paint to paint the desired design on the cushion cover. Leave to dry briefly.
Then use the Fashion Liner to create highlights with special embellishments or writing in shimmering effect colours.
Tip: Come up with your own sayings to turn cushions into individual eyecatchers.
- Leave the textile to dry for two hours, laying flat and stretched (six hours if using Fashion Liner). Then iron each painted section from the front through a thin cloth or a sheet of baking paper for 5 minutes at cotton setting or fix in the oven for 8 minutes at 150°C. (Check the heat resistance of the fabric first.) Afterwards the textile will be washable up to 60°C (up to 40°C if using Fashion Liner)
