hey girls. I just tried screen printing for the first time, and while I like it a lot, I messed up. :\ I already figured out a lot of what my errors were (not enough negative space, etc) but I'm not sure if the paint I used to screen helped mess it up more. so I have two questions:

1. when screen printing (using the old pantyhose/embroidery hoop method), is it better to use a thicker or thinner paint?

2. will matte fabric paint dilute easily with water?

thank you!
