HOW TO USE FABRIC MARKERS
HOT TIPS
Before using the markers on your project you will want to wash the fabric first to remove the size this helps with the application of the marker. - If you are drawing on a t-shirt make sure you put a piece of card inside to protect the back of the shirt.
The grain of your fabric is going to affect the way the marker works, with fabric markers, fine grain or smoother fabric is easier to work with. Each type of material is going to react differently to the markers, so it’s a good idea to test the fabric you are using the marker so you can see how absorbents the fabric is.
Fabric painting with a marker is handy especially if you want to use fine lines; Fabric markers are great for colouring in. Use a HB pencil to mark out your design before you start this way you can colour your design in.
Note - if the fabric has a grain to it, you will need to change the angle of marker to work with the grain. Also, be careful not to stop with the marker resting on the fabric as it may bleed if you are hesitating lift the marker up.
Leave your design to dry overnight and heat set after 24 hours.
Create eye-catching wearable works of arts on pillowcases, t-shirts, pencil cases, tote bags if the fabric has been designed for fashion it is also designed for Derivan Fabric markers.
FABRIC MARKER PROJECT
HEAT SETTING
Paints used in fabric printing require heat fixing in order to become washproof. Any type of heat can be used for this purpose. Heat tunnels or ovens may be used, but the most common form of heat fixing is the use of a household iron. The main points to be observed are:
Ensure your design has completely air dried before it is heat fixed.
When heat fixing, apply heat evenly and continu- ously for the required time over the image.
Be sure not to scorch or burn the image or garment by keeping the iron moving constantly. Remove the iron briefly if the garment is getting too hot before continuing.
Use a tea towel or another piece of cotton cloth over the image to iron on. Do not use the iron in direct con- tact with the image.
Heat fix times and temperatures: Please note heat fixing times and temperatures are subject to vary depending on the accuracy of the settings in the appliance to be used. The following is a guide only:
• Cotton, calico, linen, rayon 4-5mins at 140°C -180°C
• Synthetics, nylon, polyester, tetron, acrylic 5-8mins at 115°C -130°C
It is important to remember that valuable projects always warrant a test. Heat fixing tests should always be done on the fabric to determine temperature and time required
to make the image fast (permanent) but without scorch- ing the particular fabric. Test by heat
You’ll need to set the fabric paint with heat. In order for the paint to set permanently into the fabric, it has to be set with heat. Check ahead of time that the fabric you’re using can be treated with heat, since this step ensures that your design will last much longer than without it.
