Appliques Iron
Experienced crafters–fabric paint question?
I am touching up a Christmas sweatshirt I did years ago and have a couple of questions. I used fabric paint to outline and highlight iron-on appliques, so there are not large areas of paint.
I remember I had to let it lie flat for maybe 24 hours? before putting it in the dryer to “set” the paint. Is that the right length of time? How long does it need to be in the dryer? What setting? Right side out or inside out? Washing tips for after I wear it?
I really would like to have this looking nice again for Christmas Day. Thanks so much!
Depends on the paint. The old Tulip paints simply dried. Most of the more professional paints require heat setting or a fixative… here are some sample paints, and Dharma has kindly added the instructions for each type: http://www.dharmatrading.com/html/eng/3243-AA.shtml?lnav=paints.html
quoting from the general instructions:
“Question:
What are the ways to heat-set textile paints?
Answer:
Heat setting is necessary with most Fabric Paints to lock the color into the fibers so it’s washable. (Paint must be thoroughly dry!) There are a few different methods.
Ironing is a major home option. Preheat the iron at the maximum temperature safe for the fabric. Most paints say to iron each spot for 2-3 minutes. Using Aluminum foil can cut back on this time. Place aluminum foil on the ironing board with the shiny side up. Put the fabric over that with the painted face down. Place another sheet of foil on top, shiny side down. Each square foot must be pressed for 15-25 seconds keeping the iron moving so as to not scorch the fabric. (Inexpensive plastic irons sometimes don’t get hot enough).
A commercial dryer that reaches 250 degrees minimum can be used for 30-45 minutes depending on the fabric and fabric paint used. The dryer must be preheated and please note that home dryers usually don’t get hot enough.
Another method is using a commercial conveyor type oven: 350* for 3 minutes, 2 passes if necessary. A home oven can be safely used (except for accessories that have plastic inserts!), 250* for 25 min. Coil the fabric in a loose roll and lay it on some paper, not allowing the fabric to touch the side or rack of the oven. All temperatures and amounts of times are dependant on the fabric, fabric paint, amount of coverage and equipment used. TEST!
To eliminate heatsetting, try Versatex’s No Heat Fixative! Works with most brands of fabric paints.”
Washing tips: inside out, cool wash, hang dry.

The Art of Appliques and Quilting $26.07 This book talks about appliques, quilting, the supplies needed for quilting and specifically, the different types of quilts that make well use of the applique decoration method. This can either be done by hand or by machine. Amish, Ralli, Tivaivai, Tristan and Sashiko quilts all use this type of methodology. Several museums now feature historical quilts made by Harriet Powers and others. These museums include the DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park and the Victoria and Albert Museum.
