    I recently heard a fabric expert (but darned if I can remember who) say vinegar only works to affix dyes in some parts of the world. Something about vinegar being made differently in different places, and something about its being acid versus alkaline. Or something. Gee, I'm really helpful, aren't I?

    The message I took away is that vinegar does not work as a fixative in North America. It used to, but either the fabrics or the vinegar is different now, and it doesn't work anymore.

    I don't think it matters whether you wash your fabrics or not if you never plan to wash the finished artwork.

    Anne in Vancouver, Canada, sure I know something, but not sure exactly what!
