FAQs

Can I use these markers on dark fabrics?

These pastel markers are designed for light-colored fabrics to achieve their intended soft effect. They will likely not be visible or vibrant on dark fabrics.

How long do I need to let the ink dry before heat setting?

Allow the ink to dry completely, which usually takes 1-2 hours. The surface should feel dry to the touch. Ensure no moisture remains before ironing.

What is the correct way to heat set the design?

Place a protective cloth or parchment paper over the dried design. Iron with a dry iron (no steam) on a medium-high setting for 2-4 minutes, keeping the iron moving constantly. Ensure the entire design area is covered.

How many colors are included in this pack?

This pack includes six complementary pastel colors.

Can children use these markers?

Yes, these markers are easy to use and suitable for children's creative projects, but adult supervision is recommended, especially during the heat-setting process.

What type of fabrics are these markers best for?

They are ideal for 100% cotton and other light-colored, natural, or synthetic fabrics with a smooth weave.

Can I wash my decorated fabric in the washing machine?

Yes, after heat setting, fabrics decorated with these markers can be machine washed at temperatures up to 40°C on a gentle cycle. Hand washing is recommended for maximum longevity.

Troubleshooting

Marker not working or ink flow is poor.

Ensure the marker is shaken vigorously for at least 30 seconds. Check that the correct tip is uncapped and try applying gentle pressure. If the marker is still not working, the ink may be depleted.

Ink is bleeding or feathering on the fabric.

This can occur on very loosely woven or textured fabrics. Try using a thinner fabric or a stabilizer. Ensure the fabric is taut while drawing. Avoid applying too much ink.

Colors are not permanent after washing.

The heat-setting step was likely insufficient or skipped. Ensure the ink is completely dry before heat setting, and follow the recommended ironing time and temperature. Re-heat set the design.

Pastel colors appear too faint on the fabric.

These markers are designed for light-colored fabrics. For best visibility, use them on white or very pale backgrounds. Apply multiple layers after drying and re-heat setting for a more intense color, though this may affect the subtlety of the pastel effect.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Shake Well: Before each use, shake the marker vigorously for at least 30 seconds to ensure the ink is properly mixed.
Test: It is recommended to test the marker on a scrap piece of fabric or an inconspicuous area to ensure desired results and check for any bleeding.
Draw: Apply the marker to the fabric, using the fine tip for details and the broad tip for larger areas.
Dry: Allow the ink to dry completely. Drying time can vary depending on the amount of ink applied and fabric absorbency (typically 1-2 hours).
Heat Set: Once dry, place a piece of scrap fabric or parchment paper over the design and iron it with a dry iron (no steam) on a medium-high setting for 2-4 minutes, moving the iron constantly. This process fixes the ink permanently.

Compatibility:

Fabric Types: Best results are achieved on 100% cotton and other light-colored, natural, or synthetic fabrics with a smooth weave. Avoid using on very dark, heavily textured, or synthetic fabrics like nylon or polyester where the pastel colors may not show effectively.
Surface: Ensure the fabric is clean, dry, and free of any sizing or finishes. Pre-washing fabric without fabric softener is recommended.

Care:

Washing: After heat setting, the fabric can be machine washed at temperatures up to 40°C (104°F) on a gentle cycle. For best longevity, hand washing is recommended.
Drying: Air drying is preferable. Tumble drying on low heat may be acceptable after heat setting, but prolonged high heat can degrade the design over time.
Storage: Store markers horizontally with caps tightly sealed to prevent drying out.
