Textile
Medium

A water based
acrylic medium used to convert Jo Sonja's Artists' Colors into a
controllable textile paint, which becomes permanent when properly
dried and heat set. Fabric with at least 50% cotton content is recommended
for best adhesion. Prewash all fabric, prior to painting to remove
sizing from fabric fibers.

Directions
- Mix up to, but no more than equal parts (1:1) of Textile Medium
and Jo Sonja's Artists Colors.
- Water may be used to thin the mixture. Use caution as water
dilution may cause color to bleed.
- To apply glitter on fabric use All Purpose Sealer or Textile
Medium. Experiment to see which one gives you the desired effect.
- Use All Purpose Sealer on the edges of your cut fabric to prevent
fraying. Seal 1/4" beyond cut edges.
- The finished product MUST BE HEAT SET TO BECOME WASHER AND
DRYER SAFE. Launder using mild detergent & delicate heat settings.
Heat Set
Directions:
A. Ovens: Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Place aluminum foil in
your oven to protect article. Place in oven for 1 1/2 minutes. Remove
and let cool. If you wrap the article in foil, allow 4-5 minutes
in the oven for the heat to permeate the foil.
B. Irons: You'll
need to experiment to discover the proper heat setting for your
iron. Prepare a small sample strip using similar material and apply
your colors. Start your iron at the polyester setting and iron the
sample strip. Keep increasing the temperature until you reach the
point where your sample colors begin to change the shift. Once you
know this limit, back off slightly and mark your setting. Use this
for future heat setting on similar fabric. * Heat setting in clothes
dryer may not be adequate.
Clean up with
mild soap and cool water
