thejanith said mostly what I would have said, except that if you applied the paint in "lines," and didn't apply them really well, they might still be peelable because they didn't actually get down into the fabric very well and will be more sitting on top of the fabric's fuzz (btw, to adhere well when you want to, the nozzle needs to kind of drag along into the shirt while applying). That's unlikely to be true of a whole shirt though.

If you can't get the paint off, you can always do other things to cover, hide, or change what you did:

...paint over parts with larger designs
...add things to it (jewels, cording, etc.)
...paint over parts of what you have with *paint that's the same color as the shirt* so it will become more like visual texture (could also add more lines or shapes first, to make the your original design less obvious)
...sew an applique or a quilt block etc., over the whole design or just part of it... or make a new painted design on a piece of fabric or even fleece, then sew that over the old parts

Good luck,

It's peelable from slick flat surfaces only, not from fabric. Check the label. The fabric paints I use say you need to let the fabric set a certain amount of time before washing it. If you've just now messed up, dash immediately to the washing machine, treat your mess-up (and the rest of the garment, just to be sure) with pre-wash stain remover (Shout, Spray&Wash, etc.) Then wash in cold water. Before putting it through the heat of the dryer, check to see that everything came out. If not, treat it and wash it again.
