Stamping on fabric..??

[april]

What is the best ink to use? I've got some craft ink and a couple of staz on pads but I thought staz on wasn't for fabric?? What would be best to use?

Thanks, April

I have generallly hear craft and then heat set, but have sued Staz-On for my son's preschool canvas bag b/c it would not be regualrly washed.

Here is a good way you can check:
click on the search button (looks like a magnifyong glass) and enter in key words. Here are some to try:

stamping+cloth+craft

stamping+fabric+direction*

and click "search all terms"

play around with some words-I know there is a lot of info on the subject here.

Are you a demonstrator? If so, the directions are right on the demo portion of the SU website. They recommend the craft pads.

I called SU demo support they suggest craft pad and then heat set with embosser so the ink doesn't run. You can only cold wash and hang dry once you stamp on though. Or if you can get your hands on Fabrico (SU sold a couple years ago) it is made specifically for fabric stamping but HARD to find. I saw you are from ID what part I grew up in Boise & moved to UT 5 yr ago. I love ID.

Anybody tried the Fabrico ink pads? I heard they were made for fabric.
SU used to carry them a few years ago, but they are hard to find now.

Britta! You sued Staz-On or did you use Staz-On??

I sued them of course, then they came and stamped his bag! :oops: ( I type faster than I think-I type the ALL THE TIME! )

I actually won spelling bees when I was in elementary school-you wouldn't know it from my posts!
