Can Sharpie markers be used on fabric?

Asked a month ago
Sharpie markers can indeed be used on fabric, making them a popular choice for various creative projects, such as custom clothing, tote bags, and home decor items. They are known for their vibrant colors and permanent ink, which generally withstands washing and wear. However, it is important to note that the results may vary based on the type of fabric and the application method used. For the best results, Sharpie recommends allowing the ink to dry completely before handling the fabric and heat-setting the design by placing a cloth over the ink and applying an iron on a low setting. This can enhance the durability of the artwork. Additionally, it is advisable to test the marker on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure it does not bleed or spoil the fabric. For more detailed instructions and tips, exploring the current Sharpie website may provide further useful information and resources.
