Today I went live on my Facebook page and had so much interest that I thought I'd share that live video here and hopefully inspire others with the possibilities of Derwent Inktense pencils. They are so much fun! Watch along as I start creating my new sea turtle art quilt.

I had been interested in Inktense for a while before you did the hearts mugrug, but basically, that's what tipped me into this amazing and INTENSELY satisfying way of personalising quilt blocks. I hold you solely responsible for this Lisa and I want to thank you so much! I love it! If anyone else is waiting, trying to make up your mind whether this is worthwhile and fun, take the leap, you won't regret it!

If you use a small craft iron when it starts to bleed you can dry it quick to stop the bleed I pre for to take the color off to pencil with the brush and then add to fabric. That leaves no lines

@teresaluna1936 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Lisa! Thanks so much for sharing your expertise. When coloring , and you do not want the lines to show through, use a small circular motion holding the pencil on the side. When you wet it with the medium it will not leave darker marks. Another technique will be to bleed the color onto the medium, then apply to the area. Voilà, no stricks. Again, thanks for sharing.

hahahaa, I've always been a firm believer that a creative mind is NEVER bored hahahaaaa. The fabric you use it totally up to you, you'll get different results from it all so my best advice is to experiment and have fun playing. We are all different, and so you may come across something that you fall in love with material wise. I would use a higher thread count though, so that's something to keep in mind.

Hola, yo los tengo hace bastante y no me animaba a usarlos porque son muy fuertes... Siempre los usé con agua sola y me ha dado bueno resultados... Fíjate que estos lápices se pueden usar con otra técnica y la verdad que da muy hermosos resultados y queda como un efecto acuarela, solo tienes que rayar la punta en un plato y luego agregas unas gotitas de agua con el pincel. El efecto para el que sabe pintar es muy bueno, con excelente resultado, obvio debes usar un papel más grueso, lo mismo que con los otros acuarelables, la diferencia es que está tinta es permanente. Habría que probarla con alcohol.

@TheQuiltmakerHomestead 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Etta :) I did try the freezer paper, and in theory I thought it would work. When you start painting in the colors, rubbing the fabric causes it to lift off of the freezer paper.........at least when I tried it :)

@joc0553 4 жыл бұрын

I have these and the blocks. I found them most inexpensively from Dick Blick. I had my granddaughter coloring on white cotton dishtowels. I believe they also need to be heatset with an iron. We did not set the first ones, and they faded so much. Very disappointing for the kids and me. Anyone else had an issue like this?

@maryessary7848 4 жыл бұрын

I'm excited to hear you might get a computer for your longarm. It does save a lot of time. But you really cant go off and leave it while its stitching cuz a lot can go wrong in short order. LOL What company are you thinking of buying from? My daughter bought one and had it installed in my home because we both thought I would learn to use it. But that hasnt happened because I dont have the patience it takes to set up the patterns. And because of nephropathy in my feet I'm unable to stand for long periods of time. Thankfully she does have patience and she does a good job. Each quilt is a new experience for her cuz "we're" still learning. What i like to do most is the piecing. So I make them and she quilts them. Right now she's behind a few. I'm hoping as you learn to navigate thru the "how it works" you can give some good instruction so we can learn better how to use some of the functions.

I have traced a colouring page onto fabric then used some open stock Inktense pencils to colour it in just like in a colouring book before adding the water. Did it because I am scared of appliqué. Worked great. Colours didn’t fade when I washed it before using it as a block.

Lisa, I have another question. Can these pencils, be used on a quilt that will be washed? I’d like to make a baby quilt or a throw sized quilt using these pencils. Will the ink hold up to washing? I also would like to know the best brushes to use. I know they need to be stiff, but is there any way they have a number or a brand? I'm trying to order online and I can't test the stiffness online. Thank you.

@TheQuiltmakerHomestead 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Pat, yes the Inktense pencils are permanent when heat set, of course before you go through all of the work designing, I would take a sample of the materials you will be using, and do some testing first :) They may act differently from material to material. You can use any type of brush, however for spreading the ink more efficiently I like using a course hair brush.....I just looked at my brush and all it says on the handle is " #4 White Artist Bristle".

Once you heat set the Inktense, it is SUPPOSE to be permanent, make sure to heat set it well according to the type of fabric you are using. You made me giggle about the part time job, I know the feeling!!! One upside.....these pencils last soooo long hahahaaaa
