    I have used machine dyes successfully a couple of times, just make sure you get the right dye and follow the instructions closely!

    I successfully dyed a white cotton cardi and white cotton vest top in the summer. The cardi must have been stitched with cotton thread as it came out fine. The (now) brown vest has white topstitching. I changed the buttons to suit and it looks fine. But you might not want white polyester topstitching on your new garment. WOuldn't it be difficult to cover with marker pen without marking the rest of the garment, even if it is black?
