  The increasing popularity of fabric painting in shops and on craft markets has fuelled a renewed interest in this craft. This book has an introductory section on paint mixing, the preparation of fabric, the basic principles of the paint and scraping technique, and heat treatments. It also provides instructions on how to make basic soft furnishings with newly painted fabric. Step-by-step instructions and photographs explain every stage of the process. Further interesting techniques discussed in the book are stencilling and silkscreening. A chapter is also devoted to the effect different textures and fabrics have on the same pattern.
