Today's #screenPrint results were… let's just say it's important to talk about them to prevent publication bias :D

I've spent yesterday evening painstakingly painting a QR-code on curtain fabric with PVA glye (and a bit of acrylic paint added to know what I was doing).

and then today I tried to use it, but it's definitely not clear enough to work

with the white bit way too grainy for any phone / computer to recognize the pattern.

On the plus side, the paint I'm using (marabu textil print) washes easily (with some rubbing) when it's still fresh, so I haven't wasted the scrap of fabric I was using. It may be a sign that it's not going to be as resistant to future washing (after heat setting) as other fabric paint I've used, which is less good, but while doing random experiments it's fine.

Also, while washing the screen the glue went away, which it didn't on the homesewing screen: I'm not sure whether it's the acrylic paint, the fact that it was relatively fresher (less than 24 hours) or the fact that when I washed it I scrubbed it as if I didn't care whether the glue survived or not, while I was more careful with the homesewing screen.
