I agree, it probably is easier on woven fabrics. The stretch factor fits into the process of lifting the screen off the fabric. It needs to be a smooth, careful movement. But in all of the tops I've painted, the only major blob I've had was with this top. Practice definitely helps!Dixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14712003004658269721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703415315027612176.post-81337265352519967912012-07-06T09:33:09.508-04:002012-07-06T09:33:09.508-04:00Hi M! - Thank you for your comment.

In hindsight, I should have written the review as a draft earlier in the month, and added each top as it was completed. That would have made the process easier.Dixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14712003004658269721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703415315027612176.post-42711739642686416542012-07-06T09:30:11.495-04:002012-07-06T09:30:11.495-04:00Hi Kelley, I'm glad to hear you are inspired, ...Hi Kelley, I'm glad to hear you are inspired, and that my explanation was clear.

Doing this on knit fabric too, made it more challenging.
