Color Resist: Color Resist works as a masking medium for fabric painting projects. Use Color Resist where you do not want paint on your projects. Removing the mask will allow the color of the fabric or basecoat to show through a design created by Color Resist.
Pearl Medium: Use with SoSoft Fabric Acrylics to make pearl fabric paints. Mix equal parts of medium and paint.
Transparent Medium: A medium to turn opaque colors of So-Soft Fabric Acrylics and Shimmering Pearls into a transparent fabric paint. Very effective when working with iron-on and shaded transfers.
Ultra White: Ultra White is a super white basecoat paint for painting on dark fabrics. It enhances the brightness and true colors of the top coat.
Glittering Topcoat: This acrylic top coat is easy to apply with a brush or sponge, and dries crystal clear, leaving a soft shimmer as it catches and reflects the light. It may be applied over SoSoft Fabric Acrylics or directly onto fabric.
Fabric Medium: Fabric Painting Medium, when mixed with Americana Acrylics, produces a washable, permanent paint for fabrics. It improves penetration and bonds to the fabric while helping to prevent, cracking, peeling, and fading. Fabric Painting Medium is suitable for clothing and home decor fabric projects.
