HERE'S WHAT I FOUND TO REALLY WORK FOR ME!!
Using a plastic tub, I ran HOT water into tub, then added the Apple Barrel paints and Textile Medium, about 1 bottle of Textile Medium for every 2 bottles of acrylic paint. I got my water so hot that I had to wear rubber gloves to handle the fabric, but I really worked fabric in the color bath. Then I squeezed as much water out as possible, the put into the spin cycle of my washing machine (no added water) to spin excess water out. I checked fabric for any streaks (very seldom found any when using the hot water), but if any streaking noticed, I reworked the fabric in the bath, before putting fabric into clothes dryer to heat set. Repeat as necessary to get desired depth of color.
