Felt pens for fabric

Hand-painted fabric is a popular trend in modern art. Pictures made in this technique look very beautiful and spectacular. In addition to paints, textile markers can also be used for work.

Currently, there is a large selection of felt-tip pens for fabric. They can be divided into two groups: indelible and those that can be washed. The last markers are also called "phantom". Let us consider in more detail each of the species.

They are intended for marking the fabric when working, for example, when embroidering or sewing. Markers of this type are: disappearing, washable, washable and for dark fabric.

• Vanishing felt-tip pens keep on fabric 24, a maximum of 48 hours. Best suited to lay out the fabric when embroidering or fabric when sewing.
• Washable markers have two sides, one of which writes, and the other erases what is written. There are markers, which themselves disappear after a while.
• Washed away felt-tip pens can keep on textile products up to one year, if they are not erased. To remove traces of the marker, it is necessary to rinse the fabric in cold water without the use of detergents. Only after that is it permissible to erase the work. If you wash the cloth immediately in warm water, the marker can stick, and it will be difficult to remove it.
• Marker for dark fabric usually white. It can be washable, washable or disappear. The picture is not immediately visible on the fabric, it appears in a few minutes.

The markers "Mola" of the Swedish company Ikea are washable, they are removed from the surface with warm water and soap. These markers are perfect for children's creativity, as they have bright saturated colors and a convenient body shape for children's hands. They will not wither, even if the child forgets to close the cap. Markers are well washed from clothes and washed off from all surfaces, including from the skin.

Markers designed for painting fabrics should not disappear during the operation of the product. They are suitable for creating patterns on cotton, linen, silk. When buying markers, you need to read the instructions to them very carefully, as with improper handling the colors in the picture may become dull or blur.
