Answer 1

It shouldn't do! If you follow the instructions and use the right temperature it should stay put

Answer 2

Use Folk Art Fabric Paint ,it is a long lasting paint , it has a little tee shirt on the lid ;)))

Answer 3

First, "fabric paint" is just acrylic paint with "textile medium" added to it to make it more supple once it's dried.  You can buy acrylic textile medium separately and add it to plain acrylic paints as well.

Any *acrylic* paint shouldn't come off with washing and drying as long as it's been worked down into the surface well so there will be a good bond, and you wait at least a week before washing it to allow time for a full cure.   It can also be good not to use a really strong detergent (like Tide, for example...All and Cheer are gentler), and to turn the shirt inside out when washing to avoid a lot of extra abrasion.

Thick, larger areas of acrylic paint can crack over time though unless enough textile medium has been added just because plain acrylic paints aren't quite *that* flexible over time (they are flexible though).



If you use the acrylics as "watercolors" where they've been thinned down with water (or textile medium), they'll seldom have any problems since they're so thoroughly soaked into the fabric.

Fabric paint is specially designed to stay on even when being washed. Just make sure that you buy a good quality paint and read the instructions when applying it.
