textile medium for stenciling

[iamdolleyez.livejournal.com]

hey, i'm sure one of you ladies might know the answer to this

i went looking for textile medium to mix with acrylic paint for stenciling on fabric, and i found 2 types...
type 1 is a liquitex product, i believe it was called somethingrather900 textile medium. it required heat to set it, and warned of toxic fumes (formeldahyde actually!) being released when you heat it to set. it looked very liquidy in the bottle..and the bottle was about 11 bucks

type 2 was another brand (possibly golden or something like that..they are both available at curry's..). bottle was half the size, more viscous than the other type mentioned above..and said nothing of heat setting or toxic fumes upon set (since no heat set was mentioned)

any advise on which works better? anyone use either of them? is one of them more of a silk screen/fine/soft texture than the other?

i currently use a ready blended fabric paint, which is just fine i suppose ..but since i have a huge giganta-tub of black acrylic (which i really don't use..how much black can you really use in normal usage??) i figured i could invest a little and use up some of this paint that's just sitting here.

anyhoo. thanks!

**edit because i forgot i took a few pictures!!**


here's the front of a shirt. cliche and all! but i like it..and the necklace i also made...looks better with a green shirt...but i had no taste that day (and yea, i made the hair too but i'm not showing that off!)

but to make up for the cheese factor of the skeleton..here's the back

which i drew myself. sort of a bones and blood vessels sort of wing dealy.
yea.
