Info on inktense coloured pencils needed please
Last fall, l treated myself to a set of lnktense colored pencils. These are made to colour a picture, then use a wet/ damp brush and the pencilling becomes watercolour. I've heard you can brush on some type of epoxy or something to make them appear like oils as well( but l'm not doing that)..
I wish to use them on fabric. l have outline embroidered several quilt blocks and want a pastel look of colour, similar to method used in the Salem Quilt guild by Crabapple Hill studio. My question is...how do l make the colour durable enough for a quilt that's going to be laundered?

According to Derwent, the Inktense pencils are permanent and can be washed after heat setting with an iron. - on cotton.
This is a pdf guide put out by Derwent. you can download it if you like. Scroll down for the heat setting directions.

according to this, some are ink based, some are wax based.

Do some practicing on scrap fabric first.
I think therre is an outliner pencil available to keep colors inside a boundary.
I read something about using aloe Vera with them, too - but do not remember what it was.

Thankyou, everyone! I bought some fabric medium at Michael's ( we don't have Hobby Lobby in Canada). Today l will practice on some spare fabric same as what l embroidered. This is going to be fun!
