The Derwent Inktense pencils are made of ink which is permanent after becoming wet and then allowed to dry. Water works great if you can control the amount of water in the brush. (Use different sizes of brushes and stroke from the middle towards the edges. Tap the brush on scrap fabric before brushing to remove some water.) Aloe vera gel is a moistening agent which will not bleed. Fabric medium will not bleed and can also be thinned to use to wet the ink, but I think it leaves the fabric a little stiff. I haven't used it enough to really critique it. I don't think you need to heat set the work after it's dry when using water or gel, but I have done it "just in case." : )
