A. SteelA. Steel: I wanted a fabric marker or something that wouldn’t make a lot of mess or require a lot of fussing around. I have had good success with Pentel fabric paints in the distant past, and these looked like they’d work. They really act like crayons and give a crayon effect. I wasn’t terribly concerned with dense colour, but I think I could have gotten it more solid had I set a layer and drawn again on top of that. I recommend ironing with a cloth, not paper as recommended in the instructions, but do make sure that you don’t care about the cloth – excess pigment stayed even with immediate washing. After washing and drying, the look was pretty much identical to prewash. You could use these with even pretty young children. I should mention, my fabric had a lot of polyester, and it worked just fine, even though cotton is recommended.

Pauline Saumure: Je viens de faire l'essai, pantalon brun en coton velours. Tache, décoloration goutte de javel. Après l'application, je mis le fer à repasser, papier brun en dessous et dessus. Je n'ai pas lavé depuis l'application, je veux attendre que le produit sèche super bien. J'ai mis le brun avec un peu de noir. Arts et corrections, bien pratique à la maison, produit qui me suivra pendant des années.
I just tried it, brown cotton velvet pants. Stain, bleach discoloration. After the application, I put the iron, brown paper below and above. I have not washed since the application, I want to wait until the product dries super well. I put brown with a little black. Arts and corrections, very practical at home, product that will follow me for years.

RR: In the photos attached to my review, you can see what designs look like when freshly set and what they look like after 9 years of wear/washes. I made my sister a shirt 9 years ago using these and my nephew recently wanted his own shirt, so I bought some more of these to make him one.

I agree with other reviewers that they break easily during use, are messy, and can smear. If you were using these for a craft with kids, I would recommend having them wear painting aprons and protecting your work surfaces .

To prevent bleed-thru and make it easier to draw on the fabric and when I iron the design, I like to put a thick piece of cardboard on the other side of the fabric (separating the sides of the shirt/ bag/ etc and also protecting your work surface.) For fiddly designs or ones with lots of colours, I recommend ironing after each colour to prevent lots of smearing.

If pieces of the pastel break, you can reduce mess when you use them by making your own paper sleeves for the pieces or my just wearing gloves.

I like that this product is long lasting. I also like that the colours are blendable and the colour is buildable (sometimes something looks okay when...

C. B.: While these were a fun new medium to use to decorate fabric, we found them challenging to use to get smooth strokes. They also lost their vibrancy when washed. The color is still there, it's just much duller. We did carefully follow all instructions on how to "set" the color on to the fabric and how best to wash the fabric. While the adults enjoyed the new medium to use, the kids found them challenging. I think they are a neat idea, but due to the stretchy-ness of fabric and the difficulty getting the color on to and to stay on the fabric, these are best left to tightened fabric or perhaps something like a duffel bag that has very little minimal stretch.

Stormin AKStormin AK: These are fabric dye sticks are wonderful, really hold up after many, many washes. The dye sticks are very similar to an oil pastel, very soft and smudgy.
On stretchy materials, like t-shirts, it does require a technique to apply and might be challenging for a small child. They work fabulous on firm materials, like canvas, blending in easy and the colors are so bold.
The heat set is simple and easy and MUST BE DONE in order for a PERMANENT product. The pictures of the shirts I made have been washed over 20 times on warm cycle. I did one on a gray shirt and was impressed on how well the color showed up and stayed after so many washes.
