I like this. No talking, just doing and showing is great!
Thank you Quwatha!
I agree with you, I only complaint is when the music repeats a couple of note over & over I want to pull my hair out. I had to turn off the volume, lol.
Yes I love no talking
Thank you so much for sharing. I just got the set of 72 pencils for christmas as I do a lot of coloured pencil work and wanted to use these as a new medium, but never thought of using them on fabric!!! I have projects running through my head now!!!
That's great, have fun! I am sure you will create beautiful projects!
EXACTLY the information I was looking for! Thank you so much. This idea occurred to me the other day--inspired by kaleidoscope view of my iWatch face. I have a million of those images I've snap shotted. Is that a word? I like the way I can deepen the borders to add depth to the existing colors of a quilt block-in theory for me so far. I tried Sharpie and diluted the application with rubbing alcohol, and it did 'bloom' like watercolors do to diffuse and spread, growing fainter toward the outer edges. Your video was reassuring, inspiring, informative and beautiful. Thank you.
You've inspired me!!!! I was searching for methods to create images on fabric and this is it!! I've ordered everything. I have two questions:1. Did you heat set afterwards?2. Did you wash to remove the gel? I would think it would be softer then
That's great! So glad you are inspired! You do not have to heat set after coloring the fabric. And typically, I do not wash a piece after painting, as it does fade slightly. The gel does not leave much, if any feel to the fabric and dries clear. You might want to try it on some scrap fabric 1st, let it dry, and see what you think.
It was great to meet you and your wife at the Raleigh Expo. I am going to work on my bird that I purchased. Awesome video. Thank you Bob and Maria
Great to have met you! Thank you so much for the comments, and good luck with your painting project!
ooh, birds! I was just thinking flowers for some reason...
This is awesome! I can't believe I never thought to try this. I've been using these pencils for a while. LOL
Outstanding LOVEIsDasani! If it makes you feel any better, I admit that I learn something new almost every time I use them. Thanks for taking the time to comment!
Thank you for sharing this technique, just starting to experiment with these on my art quilts
Outstanding Palomino Joy, thanks for the comment and have fun!
WOWZERS!
You are so Smart...
What a great idea...
Thank YOU for sharing
this "Beautiful" tutorial.
Thank you so much, Judi!
I am entertaining the thought of using this on
Silk Scarves...
I have also used (don't laugh)...
Wilton Food Coloring (not the cheap food coloring).
it's amazing how beautiful the colors are... I first was
the silk in a vinegar water... then rinse.
After using the Food Coloring I IRON the cloth.
Excellent tutorial. I will try your method with my set of Inktense pencils. The aloe gel seems perfect for me, perfectly natural.
That great Helen! Thank you so much for watching!
I can watch you paint all day :-)
Thanks Howard! So glad you enjoy the video!
I agree. It is very soothing
I can honestly say I've never seen or heard about this technique before! it seems pretty awesome! but I do have a few questions: what happens after you finish painting, do you need to scrape the gel away? do you just leave it to dry? what is the process?
and how do you wash it? is there permanent order for every fabric using those kind of pencils or do you just wash it normally? for example if it's on a shirt, am I supposed to wash it as the instructions on the shirt say or is there difference set of instructions because of the paint?
And will this work with any type of pencils or do you need those type of pencil specifically or maybe any kind of watercolor pencil will work?
Hi Moonshiro, thank you so much for watching. The Intense brand pencil color become permanent on the fabric once it has completely dried. The fabric should be natural fiber such as cotton or silk. The gel does not have to be removed at all. If you decide to wash the fabric, just use the washing instructions for that particular fabric. The colors are permanent, but keep in mind that they do fade a bit with each wash. Have fun!
Great tutorial. You did a beautiful job!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow wonderfull Technic
New idea👌

Thanks! Let us know how it goes!
WHAT!!!
WHAT JUST HAPPENED?
The video stopped... I want to SEE more!!
I loved this video...
Thank you for watching Judi!
Technical question: Do you heat set, wash out the Aloe gel? What does the fabric feel like when finished?
Thanks for the question Beatrice. I typically do not heat set anything. It is not necessary based on my own experience. There is also very little, if any stiffness to the fabric.
Really beautiful, thank you for sharing the aloe tip
Thank you so much Speedycommander! Have fun!
I am amazed! Telling my friends about your video.
Thank you so much for watching!
Great video...
BEAUTIFUL...
Aloe Vera is good... also try Glycerin with
a little water. This is really good with Watercolor too.
Thank you so much Judi.
Wowww Iove it ..AMAZING vidio ...thanks for sharing your vidio..I'm a new friend here.
Thank you so much for stopping by and viewing the video! Glad you enjoyed it.
Beautiful work, thank you.
Thank you so much, lady hock! I appreciate you watching!
Amazing work! I have just bought at set of 72 colours . Will definitely try this . One question: why don’t you activate it with water ? Will it spread too much ?
Thanks for watching! The aloe allows for more control than water.
Thank you for your prompt reply! I will certainly try it with aloe Vera gel. Can one use painting medium? I do have that at home.
@@saraswativaidheesh2160 Yes, painting medium is an option. It will probably make the fabric a bit stiff, however, so maybe test it on a scrap of fabric 1st.
Love this. If I use this on a Fabric clothing, do I need to seal it? Or will the aloe vera / inktense hold well even after washing? Thank you.
Thank you for watching the video! I have had good results not using any additional sealer on clothing items that I have painted. The colors will fade slightly each time you wash, similar to how a new pair of jeans will fade over time.
@@ThreadSketched I appreciate the reply back. I see you have some experience painting on fabric. Are there any other Paint or Pens you can recommend for painting on Fabric Clothing?
@@breakingbeatz I haven't tried any other paint type products on fabric, and of course the Inktense "paints" are actually ink as opposed to paint. I have tried a few brands of fabric markers with very little success. The Sharpie fabric markers were the markers I always liked the best.
@@ThreadSketched Thanks again. Hope you still make a lot of art, and maybe upload some more videos in the future :)
This is beautiful 🌸
Thank you so much!

Beautiful
Thank you for watching Pamela!
Can we use fabric paint withe gel instead colour pencil
I have never tried using gel with fabric paint.
Thread Sketched thank you🙏🏻
Does this has to be heat-set after the paint dries?
Will this medium work well with the intense stick paint also?
Thank you for watching, Wanda. Yes, the medium does work with the Inktense blocks as well.
This way of painting seems flawless. Is There A way 2 preserve the painted piece. I would like to use this technique on my DIY pillows.
Hi Maria. You should not have to do anything else than what you see in the video. Once the painting dries thoroughly it is permanent. Should work splendidly for your pillows. Have fun!
Thank You. And God Bless.
Can we use natural aloe Vera gel? I mean from the cactus leaf? Or only the gel which comes in a tube?
I have never tried using natural aloe. I think it would work, but can't speak from experience.
OMG how gorgeous are these and your bee is beautiful.. I would like to know where i can purchase the machine embroidery outlines please.. I can nnot find where you sell them.. Ruth
Thank you so much Ruth, I am so glad that you enjoyed the video. I no longer sell designs as a business. I have, however, been considering making the designs available again, but instead of paying me, I would ask recipients to donate proceeds to a well known charitable organization that is near and dear to me. I will have to dust off my software program to see if I can still send design files. My old outdated website contains my email address if you decide to communicate further. Thanks again for your comment.
Is the gel used just so you can blend?
The gel does aide in blending, but it also helps control, but not completely stop, color bleeding.
Does using Aloe Vera Gel make the fabric stiff? How is it different from using fabric medium?
There is some difference in the way the fabric feels, but barely noticeable. Several differences (in my experience) between the use of gel vs. medium. Medium is a fixative that creates the most permanent bond of ink to fabric, but also leaves behind a stiffness that is more evident than gel. Think of aloe vera gel as thick water. Gel simply saturates the ink allowing it to flow into the fabric just like water, but will not bleed as freely as water. If you plan to wash your painted project, any stiffness from the gel will wash away leaving most of the original ink. Fabric medium will pretty much feel the same after washing, but will preserve the ink in your project better than gel.

Thread Sketched thank you for explaining the difference in textures between water, aloe gel, and fabric medium. I am thinking about creating my own custom fabric using plain white cotton as I am having a difficult time finding exactly what I need locally. Super helpful.

If you iron it first ... it helps make the
ink last
I just found this video, would you recommend this paint to paint tee shirts that will be washed ?
I have painted t-shirts with some success. There is some initial fade in color, but still looks good after several washes. You could also use fabric/textile medium and help hold color even better. You can see an example of the fabric medium I use in my Amazon Associate shop on my website. Shirt does need to be 100% cotton. Good luck!
Thank you for your reply !
Is there a reason why u use gel just wondering
Because the gel provides a little more control than water on the fabric. Thanks for watching!
This is wonderful ! Can we use the medium for acrlic instead of gel please
Thank you Riham. If I understand your question, you can use fabric medium with acrylic craft paint, which will turn it into fabric paint. Also, if your question is, can you use medium with the Inktense instead of gel, yes you can. The fabric medium simply makes the ink more permanent, easier to control, but stiffer when dry.
Thread Sketched 👍
Where can i purchase the outlines please. I realise they are machine embroidery so i am prepared to purchase them in any machine format.. emial address is available any time... Ruth
I am using a fabric medium. With aloe gel, do you experience any bleeding?
There is some bleeding to be sure. Less than with water alone. Fabric medium does provide the most control, but sometimes will leave a slight stiffness to the touch.
Thank you soooo much!
Lovely! !!😍 But why does it not turn out that way when I do it?😜
Ha! I am sure that you are simply being modest :)
Are the inktense permanent?
Yes.
HI!! Can I use the aloe gel and watercolor pencils on fabric? (sorry for my bad english!)
Watercolor pencils (as opposed to Inktense pencils) could probably be used with aloe on fabric, but would not be as permanent I would think? I have not tried it. Thanks for watching!
How do you get it to stop bleeding outside the lines
The aloe vera helps to control the bleeding. It is not fool proof, but there is much more control than when using water. Thanks for watching!
How did you get the imprint down on the bag that you are painting on?
The lilly design that I am painting was stitched using a machine embroidery pattern that I digitized. I stitched it onto a quilted block of cotton fabric.
did you wash this? did it turn out ok once washed.
Thanks for the question Rose. I have not washed this particular piece. I have washed others, however. The ink is permanent once dry. There is slight loss of color, but not particularly noticable.
Do you need to heat set this to make it permanent?
Linda, I never do. It does not seem to be necessary.
What kind of pen you use in painting.tell me plz.
Inktense pencils and blocks is what I use for color. I assume that's what you are asking?
I did this but when washed, it mostly washed out. Please advise
Sorry that happened, not sure what the issue was. When allowed to dry completely I have always had good results after washing, with only slight fading.
Mine washed out too...using aloe gel and I heat settled it what am I doing wrong??
How did you get your pattern on there
I digitize and then stitch my own original embroidery designs. I like to stitch simple thread designs which I can paint later. The flower is one of my designs. I should have mentioned this in the video. Thanks for asking!
how do you get the black wave in the embroidery for free motion? Was that done on top of the design after painting bc it was already free motioned first wasn't it?
Hi. Don’t know about the gel you applied. Please tell about this🙏🏻
Thanks for watching. The gel is called aloe gel and can be purchased at most drug stores.
What fabrics can you use this method on?
100% cotton is what I use. You can use any natural fiber fabric though.
What brushes were you using?
The brushes are nothing special. Craft brushes will work.
What brushes do you use?
The brushes I use are nothing special, Annie. Craft brushes that are somewhat firm, and with a good sharp edge.
do you iron this when it's dry?
Heat setting is not necessary. I rarely iron after painting.
Thread Sketched I'm planning on using these to enhance some quilts. Am thinking they will get washed regularly.
They stand up to washing, but there will be slight fading over time.
Beautiful
Thank you so much!
