Is this stamper good for using on clothes (sometimes directly on the clothing but usually on the tag)? Will it bleed or fade when the clothing is washed?

I wouldn't risk using it for clothing. I don't think it is suitable and would be concerned about ink bleed.

This stamper works well on clothing and is colorfast. I just with the type were larger to make indentifing easer,

I personally do not think it will remain stuck after a wash. It sticks well to paper but not clothes

No ... Save your money. The depth of the engraving isn't sufficient to allow for a dark enough stamp. The Stamper doesn't pick up the entire outline. Very disappointed.

I've used them to sign vinyl records and there was some bleeding into the grooves. I just tried a doodle on a scrap shirt and looks like no bleeding. I used a 100% cotton black T. The ink is very dark, would maybe be better with a second stroke. Looks more grey with a touch of sparkle. It is quite noticeable though. Can't speak as to the wash ability of the T though. It does appear to have "sunk in" to the fabric a bit. I'd say the result is different than I thought it would be, better than expected.

I use "shout" for laundry. Advantage takes spots out of rugs, cleans counters etc.The label says it can remove any dirt from anything with the correct strength. So it should be safe for clothes - 1 part advantage to 5 parts water. Or something like that.

Since they are 100% cotton, I doubt they will bleed. Washing them with bleach will probably make the marks lighter over time.

I have used it on silk, cotton, canvas, rayon, polyester, and nylon. (It even works on lycra or spandex but the stretch distorts and cracks the design.) There were no problems with the painting. Be sure to place a paper towel or something behind the fabric to catch the bleed-through. The only issue is when you use the iron to heat set the color. You will need to be careful about the heat for rayon and nylon (or lycra/spandex). While you want to use the highest setting, you do not want to melt the fabric. I set my iron 2 notches below the highest iron setting. You will want to test a corner to ensure the iron doesn't melt the fabric. But don't skip the step entirely. For hard-to-iron items, I took my hair dryer and, setting it at its highest heat, I held the blower at approximately 1/2 inch away from surface, close to it, and ran the dryer for about 1 minute over each 3 square inches of painted surface. I wouldn't rely on this to go through a washing machine but it will hold up through careful hand-washing.

I use it to make window clings and reusable tattoos and for that it works wonderfully, but I've never used it on clothes, however it has always been the highest recomended by all of the crafters that I talk to.

I have used it with paper and card stock. It works really well. Have not tried it with fabric, foam, or anything else. It prints/embosses on certain metals nicely too. Its very useful. I use a dye with a pillow box shape, with a crease pad and it gives me awesome boxes for placing small gifts inside!!

I have used the black sharpie for decorating a shirt. It worked well. The silver would probably work and reflect nicely. Just remember to put something behind the fabric so it doesn't bleed through. They do make fabric markers which may work better for you.Sanford Stained by Sharpie Fabric Markers, Assorted Colors, 8-PackT-Shirt Graffiti Permanent Fabric Markers - Set of 8

In my case the answer is yes, it did bleed when it got wet in the washer. I have not washed this item since so I don't know if it continues to bleed after the first wash.

I don't have a stamper. I use a guide I made so I can line the label up with the disk. Once it sticks it really sticks!

I use it to write letters to my brother and yes it does bleed some but not very badly if you write on both sides you can still easily read it. As long as you hold it properly it will not leak ink.

I've used it on all my laundry and haven't noticed any fading. It works great on everything!

I am not really sure what the difference is between stamped and engraved, since there are different engraving styles. When you rub your finger over the lettering you cannot feel the letters (the lettering is not raised), but I have put my dog's collar with the tags attached in the washer and they writing has not come off. The writing has faded a bit, but you can still see the information. Hope that helps.

If the washers aren't very hardened, I'm sure you'll have no problem. I have yet to try and stamp a Grade 8 washer, I doubt it would have much effect. These stamps work great, but the back stop is every bit as important. I know that using a heavy desk, or even a concrete floor will not work too well, you really need to buy a steel jeweler block and a full sized hammer (for stamping steel.)
