Can you color fabric with Copic markers or do they bleed? If you can color fabric, is the color permanent once it is dry?

well... last year I bought the girls a Christmasy shower curtain that has turquoise and baby blue circles with reindeer, snowmen, snowflakes etc. there's lime green, brown and red in it too but no pink. Now that I've painted the bathroom pink, the shower curtain could really use some pink to match a little better. The same snowflake is repeated in every row a few times so I thought I might try to color them pink with my copic markers but I don't want to even attempt it until I know they won't bleed.

The video was great! What I found interesting was that when she was coloring the cherries, she started with the darkest color first and ended with the lightest. Is that a general rule of thumb with Copics? I always learned in painting etc., to start with the lightest and move to the darkest.

I tole paint, so I know exactly what you mean.  Suzanne works BACKWARDS of what they teach at COPIC (& in the art world).  I usually take her ideas & work them the correct direction of process.  On a very rare occasion, I will lay the darker color down on my paper first, because the lighter colors will soften the shadow lines & lighten the darker color a bit.
