A brand comparison: my favorite of three
I bought three brands of fabric markers: Crayola Fabric Markers, Stained by Sharpie, and TULIP 28976 Fine Writers Markers. This review is a comparison.
The TULIP were my favorite, hands down. They flowed just right, neither too dry nor too watery. The colors were vibrant. I will be ordering more. They do not require heat-setting, though I realized this after I ironed everything.
The Sharpie markers were also the driest of the three. They weren't dried out; but it took more strokes to fill in an area. They do not require heat-setting.
The Crayola markers were the wettest, so much so that I got bleeding between colors. This wateriness makes it easier to fill large solid areas, but you need to be careful to wait a few minutes for the color to dry before drawing with another color in an adjacent area. They require heat-setting, which is time-consuming.
