#tri-chem liquid embroidery

[castor-draws]

Does anyone know anything about using Tri-Chem Liquid Embroidery? My grandma recently gave me a frankly ridiculous amount of the stuff that she found at Goodwill because she knows I like to paint.

I have a few ideas on how to use it, but getting it out of the tubes has been an issue. The ball thingy at the top is stuck or something? Not sure how best to explain, hopefully the pics help.

Pretty sure these paints are also just. Extremely Old, so they may not even work, but I like free art supplies so I'm hoping they do.

Close-ups of the tips (they say they are ball-point tips)

Close-up of the tubes, one of which claims to be scented???

And a visual representation of what I mean when I say "A frankly ridiculous amount". This is not even all of the paint tubes.

Anyway, if anyone has any info on these, that would be great! Doesn't even have to be related to my question. Talk at me about anything fabric painting-related.

I have not done this since my Homestuck phase like eight years ago, and the shirts I made back then were incredibly simplistic in both design and execution, so if anyone wants to info-dump at me about techniques or tricks they use, or just clothing customization in general, I would enjoy that very much.
