How do I stencil on fabric?

StenSource International: Frequently Asked Questions
Before stenciling the fabric, wash and dry it according to label instructions. This will remove the sizing (chemical coating) in new fabric. If the sizing is not removed, your stencil paint will not bond well with the material. When stenciling on fabric, it is much easier if you can keep the fabric from moving around. Do this by using a light coat of spray adhesive on a piece of cardboard that is about 2" larger than the piece of fabric you want to stencil.

How do I dye fabric?

FAQ
The fabric must be able to withstand 60 degree Celsius water and must not be damaged by creasing. Cold dyes exist but they're a pain in the neck to use and the colour doesn't stand up to repeated washing. Buy some Dylon Hand Dye (Woolworths sell it along with their sewing stuff) and a bag of cooking salt. Then get hold of an old bucket or bowl, a pair of rubber gloves and a clean wooden stick (the bowl, gloves and stick will be stained afterwards).

How easily can a fabric crate be destroyed?

FAQ
Fabric crates can be destroyed. But then again, so can doors. I once heard a story about a dog who chewed through the back door to warn his family when their house caught fire. They later visited the vet and found out that he had splinters in his throat. Now, I'm not saying that only heroic dogs chew through either doors or cloth crates, but I'm sure that a determined dog could chew through a crate just about as well as he could chew though anything.

Why is the fabric so fine? If it were made thicker then surely it would be stronger?

Some FAQ's regarding the DermaSilk product range
It is the fine knit of DermaSilk which gives it the ability to allow the skin to breath and act as a “second skin”. Thicker knits would only be bulkier and interfere with the lifestyle of the patient.

Loose fitting cotton clothing is designed to help protect the skin from the environment but they can be very bulky and difficult to hide under outer clothing.
