The textile medium should have directions on the bottle for how to heat set the item.  I'm not sure how necessary this is, but I don't mind throwing the shirts in the dryer on high heat for 50 minutes.

I could also iron the stuff to heat set it, but that would require finding the iron... and I never bothered to get an ironing board.

I'm not into ironing.



I really hope you try painting a shirt at least once.  Thanks for reading!

Ironing is soo much easier, I got this from another instructables and it works, Draw what you want on the rough side of sanding paper with a crayon, then iron the smooth side on the shirt.
