Difficulties of Fabric Pyrography You Must Remember

Fabric is one of the challenging mediums for pyrography. Let’s dive into the challenges –

• Not all of them are good for pyrography. It’s hard to use heat gun. However, it might damage the whole fabric. In that case, you should choose twill, canvas or denim made of cotton. Never attempt on anything made of polyester or nylon. Polyester and nylon are made of plastic/PVC materials having low melting point.
• The heating gun can burn the whole work piece, if it is too hot to handle. So, you have to be gentle with the material.
• Working on uneven surfaces can mess up your design. To avoid this, you need to keep the material flat to improve the designs.

So these are the most interesting patterns and the challenges you will face while doing burning on this material. Nevertheless, you can try for easy pyrography designs. If you are a beginner, choose easy designs like simple outlining with light shades. Experts can work on dark shading and detailed outlines.
