[MR] painting fabric?

['bella]

Greetings My Lady;
Liquitex, a fabric paint, can be purchased in quart or gallon sizes from art
supply stores.
Depends on where you live.  I used to purchase mine from Pearl Art Supply.

pearl, btw, has stores in Atlanta.

depending on the quantity of fabric to be covered by the design... I am
assuming
you are doing designs.  You might considering a cheap airbrush and a
template(s).
Or a fluffy roller, and a very hard surface to lay the fabric on.  renting a
paint sprayer
is an option if time is a factor.

a small caveat.. there is a BIG difference in price from those tiny jars to
a gallon.. <G>.
do the math and you will see that the price per gallon is not that bad.
In another lifetime, I owned a fabric design business, if I can be of any
assistance
please let me know.
