Painting on Fabric

There are many options for painting on fabric.

1. Acrylic paints can work well. If you thin them with water, you can easily stitch the fabric afterwards. If you paint with undiluted acrylic you end up with a much harder surface that is much more difficult to stitch through.
   
2. Fabric paint is available which leaves the fabric softer than using acrylic paint, but it is more expensive. Fabric paint can be used to give a result very much the same as painting on paper.
