Here's a link with an explanations for you on Floetrol:
Floetrol is a latex paint additive used as a conditioner to help reduce build up on paint brushes, eliminate brush marks and extend drying time. It’s made and distributed by Flood. Many professional painters use Floetrol as their “secret weapon”. As oil based paints continue to be phased out, Floetrol gives latex paint a similar flow and leveling of oil based paints. Floetrol is not to be used as a paint thinner.
It’s best to use flat, eggshell or semi–gloss sheens. If you use Floetrol with a high-gloss sheen, it can minimize the shine. While it is milky in color but will not change the color of your paint because it dries clear.
It could be that the two are incompatible for mixing. You might look into what the fabric paint composition is or contact the Flotrol folks to ask for sure. It’s not necessarily used as a medium.
There is also a Floetrol for Oil based paint. I have used it in both kinds. Floetrol works by extending the length of time for the paint to dry. I would use it by the teaspoons and check it on a scrap piece of fabric to make sure it does not bleed thru.

Add paint to the flotrol a little at a time to get the right ratio. You may want to try out a sample first befor committing to large quantity.
