What is the best way to paint right from a bottle of fabric paint?
Hold the bottle comfortably in the crook of your hand like a pencil so you can move it easily along a pattern as you squeeze out lines of color. Always hold the applicator tip against the fabric, squeeze and drag tip along fabric surface so that paint seeps into fibers. This is what bonds the paint to the fabric. Dimensional designs need flex points on fabric for durability and movement. Instead of making long continuous lines, make one 3 to 4-inch line at a time, and pick up the tip and start again by placing the tip just past the end of your first line. Repeat until you’ve created the desired length.
