I want to dye nylon sail material in mulitply colors. Could I put the material on a hot plate to maintain the heat level while it processes instead of a bath where I can only get one color?
We can't say for every embroidered fabric, but we reviewed several demo videos where this product was used and the embroidery seemed to come through fine (though dyed, of course). We wouldn't try it with a valuable or antique object, but that probably goes without saying. 🙂
Bleach does have a destructive effect on fabric, so the spot may not accept dye in the same way as the rest of the garment, but there's no good way to tell in advance. If you are going to try to dye them with hot water dyes, it is advisable that you use a color remover first.
The manufacturer recommends doubling the amount of dye in a single application for a darker effect, rather than overdyeing in separate applications. Hope this helps!
Wouldn't boiling for an hour ruin any elastic or spandex in a garment?
Can you run something through the process more than once to make the color even more intense?
Yes

Can you do this on a 90oc wash in a front loading washing machine?
Question. Can I do a while backpack like this?
What about embroidery? I figure if it needs to be boiled the embroidery will become a little wavy?

I have a pair of pants that got bleach on them. Do I need to iremove all the color first? Concerned the white spot will take the dye differently.

Can you use this process multiple times to get a more intense effect?

what's if it's half cotton half spandex?
Jacquard recommends combining iDye for natural fabrics with iDye Poly when using a blend. Hope this helps!
Love this! Thanks for sharing.
Like the ladle
Can i dye 100% Polyester with that?
No, this is just for natural fibers. The manufacturer recommends iDye Poly for polyester fabrics
