There not ink based just Normal watercolor pigments

@sewliloquies Ай бұрын

They are wax based pigment with a formulation intended to be permanent. They will not wash out like watercolor pigment would.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I love your videos. I've watched so many youtube videos on collage quilting and I find yours the most helpful--you are able to both explain art theory and sewing techniques with ease, making it easy for us to design our own work.

I wish you would have shown how to heat set with your iron without getting it all mucked up

@sewliloquies 4 ай бұрын

I usually let it air dry before heat setting it. That way, any liquid still sitting on the surface won't get moved around. I also put a scrap of cotton over the artwork just to protect it from anything on the iron because I use the same iron with spray starch, etc.

Can it be mechne washed

@sewliloquies 5 ай бұрын

Yes! It's water activated permanent ink. I prefer to hand wash but a gentle detergent machine wash will not make it fade or bleed either.

Just "discovered" Jenny Kingwell this morning and I absolutely love Gypsy Wife. I must make it!!! I appreciate your instruction methods. You make it so easy to follow. Thank you. Do we need the book to find the pattern, needed yardage and fabric suggestions?

@ellenpayson3104 8 ай бұрын

I haven’t tried Inktense yet but with watercolor pencils you can wet the “lead” of the pencil, allow it to sit for a very short while, then color with it. It’s a third way to use the medium and it gives a surprising intensity of color on a dry background. It is good for laying in texture, fine detail, depth and richer hues. Also, concerning he use of electric pencil sharpeners on colored pencils of any type, I totally agree with you. I have also found that most electric sharpeners will fracture the “lead” of colored pencils up inside of the barrel resulting in unexplained broken leads and wasted money. Electric sharpeners are just too rough on such fragile materials.

Did you know that this pattern is used to make Jen Kingwell's Boho Heart quilt? The blocks from this pattern can be rearranged to make a heart. 2 quilts, one pattern.

@jericlackett2547 8 ай бұрын

I wonder why you didn't do the pinwheel as 4 1/2 square triangles? Is it just because you were following Jen's instructions and she didn't? I would only cut the individual triangles if I were using more than 2 colors...

Thank you for posting this! I am a tie-dyer, and am starting to include more detailed art in some of my pieces. I have the Inktense watercolors and the Inktense blocks. When you Heat-Set the Inktense colors... does that mean that the colors will NOT re-activate if you add water? For instance, let's say I add a bird to a floral-patterned tie-dye fabric, activating it with water... when does that image become "permanent"? When it is dry?? Or only when it it is heat-set?? Thanks again for taking the time to film this and post it <3

@sewliloquies 11 ай бұрын

Yes, heat setting (or even allowing it to dry) makes Inktense permanent. It can safely be washed!

@sangeetadeshpande9113 Жыл бұрын

Pl show how you heat set it. Do you directly iron it, or you use some thing between fabric and iron. Is there any thing below your fabric?

@sewliloquies Жыл бұрын

Hello! Underneath is any heat safe surface (anything that can be used to iron on). On top of the fabric, I place a piece of scrap cotton. However, directly ironing the Inktense doesn't damage the image in any way, and I have ironed the artwork directly. If there is a lot of moisture still, it is important to keep the iron still and not move it around, otherwise the moisture will spread and might change the image.

Why iis the textile medium used?

@sewliloquies Жыл бұрын

Hi Primrose! A textile medium can do a few things... it can make the colors brighten up, it can help with making it more permanent, and I also use it to blend colors together.

@@sewliloquies "more permanent" is only a description used by Inktense fans. Either something is permanent, or it isn't. And I've not found Inktense permanent, going through washes.
