Whilst you have shown some good tips - may I suggest a couple of variations? I was shown how to do a mitred corner by masking at right angles on the corner or by putting a piece of paper at the right angle to print. For the mitred corner you SHOULD start in the centre of the design and work outwards as you end with the mitre perfectly matching at the two edges. It saves there being a heavy mismatched blocky square corner shape but it does need more practice to master the technique before you use it on your best fabric. Thanks for your videos and for the new blocks, Chris
The paint used in this tutorial is our very own Textile Paint. It is non toxic, biodegradable and mixes beautifully with other shades in the range. It does require heat setting via iron, or at best a tumble dryer. Due to it being a non toxic paint, you iron directly over the paint once is has dried (no need to cover the fabric or iron on the reverse... you want the fabric to get as hot as it can handle) ensuring each print gets really, really hot!

What is the best paint to use for this? Will it was off at all?
