Which brands of fabric dye/paint have high quality?

I want to decorate my black Outdoor Sports backpack with fabric paint or dye. I wanna know which brands are good and last long.Which brands of fabric dye/paint have high quality?
';Want to.'; Say 'wanna' all you want to, but it is spelled ';want to'; -- just like you did the first time you used it. Writing 'wanna' makes you sound whiny, which I'm guessing was probably not your goal.





Your backpack is black? How do you expect to be able to dye something that's already so dark dye will not show? It won't work. Fabric paint, on the other hand, can be made to work on black fabrics if you're careful. Tulip brand is very good. You need to follow the directions for use and care exactly if you want the best results, of course, but if you do follow them carefully, your design will last a long time.





Tulip makes several kinds of fabric paint. The one that will work best for this is the ';Soft'; line. It comes in little bottles, not in writing tubes. You'll need a small paintbrush to use with it. It says it's opaque, but on black it still needs some helps. Get a bottle of the ';cream'; color (or off-white or eggshell, or whatever they're calling it this week) and paint all your designs in that. Once that's dry (give it time-and-a-half to be really dry so this will really work well -- i.e., if it says 60 minutes, let it dry for 90) paint your designs with all the colors you were planning to use. Then let that dry for time-and-a-half, too. Let the pack cure before getting it wet at all. I think it says it needs to cure for a couple of days. Read the label so you get the best results possible. Have fun!
