Re: can stamps be used on fabric??

Question

You will want to use a 'fabric dye' ink.  JAF does carry this as well as many craft stores and Rubber Stamp stores.  I Rubber stamp on fabric all the time.  One of my favorite ways to rubber stamp onto fabrics is sitting the stamp face up against velvet.  Iron gently and the design comes out on your velvet.  it is great. You can use this same technique with other fabrics as well, cottons though do work best with fabric dye ink pads. They come in just about every color under the rainbow too. juliasb CNYstitcher wrote:

I almost forgot one thing, The best stamps to use on fabric if using afabric paint (not the dye) are from a company called 'hot potatoes'. The denser the design in the stamp the better you will find it to workon your fabric when painted.  Be sure however that you follow theinstructions on the paint you buy. They vary from manufacture tomanufacture.juliasbCNYstitcher wrote:

you can even use pigment based stamp pads.  it will say on the package whetherit'spigment or dye based.  Just heat set, and off you go.  I do this a lot forlabels andsuch.  Since I'm a scrapbooker, beader and quilter,  i like to double up mycrafts asmuch as possible.

This works best on synthetic velvets, especially the rayon type.

Hot Potatoes stamps are very nice, but they're also expensive. I have had great luck with what the stampers call "chunky" stamps, the big fat foam ones like you'd find in the "kid" section of the craft stores, or the home dec section. In fact, Hot Potatoes has lots of good info on their website
