I use a water soluable resist to keep the colors in their places on the designs (peacock and peacock feathers in this case) and then I make sure not to flood the fabric to keep it from running into the designed areas. Soes that make sense?

This fabric was too large to stretch all at once, so I painted some, let it dry and rearranged the silk to paint the other side. Sometime you have to go out on a limb! I have suspended silk yardage between two rolling work tables. I have also used saw horses to stretch large fabrics.Joy Light Designerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13563600079405862405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281788538681304333.post-59184697244599560612015-05-27T06:45:53.703-07:002015-05-27T06:45:53.703-07:00How do you stretch several yards of fabric?
