FAQs
Can these markers be used on dark fabrics?
These markers are most vibrant on white or light-colored fabrics. They may not show up clearly on black or very dark-colored textiles.
Do I need to heat set the ink?
Yes, for best results and wash permanence, you must heat set the design with an iron according to the instructions.
Are these markers safe for children?
Yes, they are nontoxic, though adult supervision is recommended for younger children to prevent staining surfaces.
Can I use these on synthetic fabrics?
They work best on natural fibers like cotton. Synthetic blends may yield less permanent or vibrant results.
How should I store the markers?
Store them horizontally in their provided pouch to prevent the ink from settling at one end of the marker.
Troubleshooting
Ink bleeding on fabric
Use a heavy piece of cardboard or plastic underneath the fabric layer to catch excess ink and prevent it from soaking into the layer below.
Design fades after washing
Ensure you have properly heat-set the design with an iron and waited at least 72 hours before the first wash.
Dry marker tip
Store markers horizontally to keep the ink evenly distributed, and replace the cap tightly after every use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your designs remain vibrant, follow these steps: First, ensure the fabric is clean and pre-washed to remove any sizing chemicals. Draw your design, then allow it to dry completely. Once dry, set the ink using a dry iron on a cotton setting, pressing for a few minutes over the design (often using a pressing cloth is recommended). After setting, wait at least 72 hours before the first machine wash. Always wash in cold water on a delicate cycle and turn the garment inside out to maintain the longevity of the artwork.
