Troubleshooting
Color appears different after heat setting.
Colors may appear different when dry and after heat setting. Always test on a scrap piece of silk first to check how colors will look after fixing.
Paint is not adhering to the fabric.
Ensure the fabric is clean and free of any treatments or finishes. Use a fine brush to ensure the paint adheres to the fabric.
Paint bleeds or spreads too much.
Use a thicker fabric or stretch it more. Also, use less paint or dilute it slightly with water if necessary. Allow the paint to dry fully before applying another layer.
