    Many fabrics have a coating on them from the manufacturer. Wash the fabric first, with cold water, dry, and iron. You have removed the coating that interferes with a good transfer. After you have made your imprint, soak it for an hour in a vinegar solution, then let it air dry. Iron the fabric with wax paper on the top-side and bottom-side of the imprint. The vinegar and heat help set the colors. Gently handwash in cold water when needed.

      Dipping it in vinegar ruins it, it just get absorbed everywhere and just blur out

    Suggestion: The flower imprints might be more permanent if you dip the fabric afterwards in a white vinegar bath. The vinegar will act as a mordant. XXOO

      I would use a mixture of alum and vinegar. In my country this is how they fix natural dyes.
      This mixture is also used in the hammerless ecoprint. 😉😉

    Of all the different demonstrations and teaching I saw in the youtube, yours is the best and an excellent result. What a smart idea. The flower edges are so sharp and with more details. As Mary Raab mentioned it might be a good idea to dip the fabric in vinegar bath, and certainly it will act as a mordant. Let me try that. Thank you so much for demonstrating. God Bless You.

    I tried this with pansy & wax paper to cover the flower and lightly iron it. I don’t know if I was lucky or if it always works, but it was on a sundress that belonged to my mother, on linen. The dress is over 110 years old & it was so pretty.

    You can also put tracing paper or baking paper on the fabric before you hammer and it prevents spreading unwanted color that is stuck on the end of your hammer. :)
