FAQs
Can these markers be used on dark fabrics?
No, these markers are formulated for light-colored cotton textiles and will not show up clearly on dark fabrics.
What happens if I don't iron the design?
The ink may wash out or become significantly faded if it is not heat-set with an iron.
Are these markers safe for use by children?
These are hobby tools intended for creative projects; adult supervision is recommended during use, especially during the ironing phase.
Can I use these on synthetic fabrics?
These markers are optimized for cotton. Performance on synthetic materials may vary and is not guaranteed.
Do I need to wash the fabric before drawing?
It is recommended to wash the item first to remove any factory finish or fabric softener, which can prevent the ink from adhering correctly.
Troubleshooting
Ink is bleeding through the fabric
Always place a protective layer of cardboard or plastic underneath the top layer of fabric before you start drawing.
Design fades after washing
Ensure you are properly heat-setting the design with an iron over baking paper and checking that you are washing at or below 40°C.
Ink flow is inconsistent
Shake the marker vigorously for 10-15 seconds to redistribute the ink pigment and try pressing the tip gently on a test surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your markers, shake them well to ensure the ink is properly mixed. Always test the marker on a scrap piece of fabric first to gauge ink flow. Ensure your textile is clean and free of fabric softeners, as these can interfere with ink adhesion. Once your design is complete and thoroughly dry, place a piece of baking paper over the artwork and iron it on the setting appropriate for the fabric type; this heat-setting process is crucial for making the ink permanent. For long-term care, wash your decorated items inside out in water no hotter than 40°C to keep the designs looking sharp and vibrant.
