PD Resources

If you want to know how I did the Potato Dextrin Resist Projects below, here are several resources.

Potato & Corn Dextrin for Surface Design - Instructions for Use - Dharma Trading Co.

Potato & Corn Dextrin Resist - Directions - ProChemical

Beware, the sources below come from good old-fashioned books, so visit your local public library. If they don't have 'em, they should be able to borrow them from other libraries.

I can also highly recommend Marjie McWilliam's Dye classes at Quilt University. 3 Unconventional Ways to Dye is taught only once a year, so you'll have to wait for it, but it's very worthwhile! Marjie also gives a recipe for using a plain old potato and or potato flakes (which is what I used).
