Let me say that from just watching this, you are one competent and organized educator. Congratulations, I'm sure people value and respect the preparations you put into this. I recognize people that think ahead and you really think things out. I'm sure your students love you.
This video kept me from pulling my hair out on my project, lol! Thank you so much for the detailed information. I was ready to give up on it but now I can apply some of these techniques to turn it around. Whew! Thank you!! 😍😍😍
Question: Do you think I could use an embroidery hoop to keep a section taut while painting a long shirt? Can I use one without stretching my shirt out of shape?
I'm in love with this! I'm planning a 6'x45' canvas mural in my backyard to cover my neighbors hideous green plastic fence. This is a big experiment, my first time working with fabric like this. Heat setting will essentially make it permanent, right? So it can be left out in the weather?
I love your video I used jacquard dyenaflow please advise on how to use dryer to set the paint I kept ironing and it still ran and I ruined beautiful art Many thanks
Hi there! I noticed you used wax paper when using your iron to heat set @ 10:45. Can you tell me what is being achieved with this method and why you used it in this case? Thanks for making and sharing this cool tutorial!
Please explain about fabric being pinned to a frame. Can you put fabric on table and paint? what kind of frame was the fabric pinned to? Thanks..enjoyed
diane collins It is best to elevate the fabric otherwise the paint will run along the table in puddles. Dye Na Flow works really well on synthetic polyesters for a budget sensitive classroom but cottons, rayon and silk work well too.
We did not use No Flow for this project. The colour flowed freely and created natural soft edges and blends. Most of the project was done wet on wet. We discovered dry painted fabric held line and details very well without the need for No Flow.
Great video! Just a few questions... what fabric did you use? and when you ironed it to fix the colours were they still nice and vibrant? Did you use water to dilute the paints or to help them blend? Thankyou.
+t-riz We used 100% polyester for this giant banner. Dye Na Flow loves synthetic fabric. We added water to help flow. Yes colours are just as bright after ironing.
Dye Na Flow works on both natural and synthetic fibres. For this school project I purchased a very affordable polyester. I have washed it twice and it has hung for three months in the south-facing sunny window of our art supply store. There has been no fading.
I love ‘just paint for joy’ it’s beautiful

Beautiful! Great project for any age. I bet the students were thrilled and very proud of their results. Thanks for the techniques and tips.
Our pleasure! We had so much fun making it in the store. It certainly had wow factor!
Beautiful work of art! Enjoyed every minute of the video
Just a lovely, informative video. I reallly want to try that salt technique!
Hey how did you add water to the paints?
You are awesome! THanks for this video. I've got to try this.

Wonderfully shared! Thank you!

If I paint on crepe de chine silk can I set it in a clothes dryer on high for thirty minutes?
Please I am interested in large painting. I need your help as a beginner.
What kind of fabric did you buy
Hi .. What color is it ?
Please explain about fabric being pinned to a frame. Can you put fabric on table and paint? what kind of frame was the fabric pinned to? Thanks..enjoyed

diane collins This is a wood frame. 1x2" finger-jointed pine. I have also seen artists use PVC pipes, string and safety pins.
If I use this on polyester and 5% spandex do I tape it down to a hollow wooded frame
anointedplus Yes it will help a lot to tape , staple or tack it to a frame
Where did you buy your fabrics?
Hi there, Did you use No Flo to keep the dyes from spreading into each other? Thank you, Juliana

I'd like to see some reds :D
Can you use this paint on cotton ? or other natural fabrics ??
Magdalena Luchter Yes Dye Na Flow works on all natural and synthetic fibres. Happy Painting!
can I steam dynaflow paints or is it like a dye? I see that jean batiste also uses this
+Poupon Crazy Cat Dye Na Flow is a acrylic. Any heat will do, nothing fancy like steam setting.
Which types of cloth do you use?
Dye Na Flow works on both natural and synthetic fibres. For this school project I purchased a very affordable polyester. I have washed it twice and it has hung for three months in the south-facing sunny window of our art supply store. There has been no fading.
