Howdy!
Have been collecting victorian postcards. Scanned them into my computer to
clean up with Photoshop. Okay, that was done. Sent off to Spoonflower on
their "free swatch" day. Everything was beautiful, except the red on Santa
was more orange. If I take the red transparent Setacolor to touch up that
area, heat set it, will it fuse to the digital print?
As I googled for info last night, I did run across a book on Google Books
that you read on line. The author showed a project of a print material
that she used the Setacolor paints on, adding long leaves over the paint.
Sunpainting. That is what it is. After it was done, the leaves removed,
you had the printed fabric showing through where the leaves were placed.
Totally excellent idea and project.
Has anyone on the list got experience with embellishing already printed
fabric with the transparent Setacolor fabric paints? I did talk to Dharma
trading, and the gal there was wonderful!!! She believes that "yes" it can
be done and the "hand" of the fabric will be soft. I am doing this for art
quilts to hang for the holidays.
I am so waiting for help on this. I would love to know before I buy
anything.
Thanks!
Annette

She sure has some nice things. I wish she was in the Midwest. I'd love a
class from her. Thanks for posting.

Hi Annette,
I have "overpainted" commercially printed fabric with Setacolour paints
lots of times and it works well. The fabric was prewashed to remove any
sizing, etc that might interfere with the dye. I've never done it on
digital prints like you want to do but I don't see why it wouldn't work.
Just take your time and colour inside the lines! :)
