It's not... I used normal acrylics like you'd use for canvases, I assume fabric acrylic is different...

I'm wanting to do ᵀᴴᴱ White edges around ᵀᴴᴱ collar and pockets and that, but normal acrylic would take about 5 coats before it'd cover ᵀᴴᴱ black properly.

Yeah fabric paints are different, you want a lot of white so you can undercoat brighter colours too

NON-WATER BASED ACRYLIC PAINT ALSO WORKS!
