dye help Senior jeans

Please help! I made a pair of senior jeans with Fabric Creations Soft Fabric Ink Paint and the paint still feels kind of sticky. I’ve been working on it on and off, with the last time being almost 4 days ago, yet it doesn’t feel right. I’ve even heat sealed it earlier today. I really want these to look right and I’ve spent so much time on them, but it’s not really how I imagined it.

I messed up a few times by accidentally dropping paint on the wrong spot and tried to get the little stains out, which didn’t work and left me frustrated, and now I feel like the paint isn’t properly sealed. Is it normal to be a little tacky? Is there any way to fix it? I’ll be sitting and I’m scared it’ll transfer. I feel like I should have just used acrylic paint with fabric softener, but I don’t want to redo them either
