Rit Dye( designing fabrics)
#1
Has anyone ever used this to dye fabrics for a quilt? Does it keep it color after washed...I would love to do some drawings on some fabrics and looking for something to use besides paints...??

Procion MX dyes can be used for painting on fabric. There are special thickening agents for the dye solution. I haven't done this yet myself, but know people who do it. With the proper fixative (soda ash), Procion MX dyes become washfast.
