I recently signed up when I needed to talk to someone about my red flannel bleeding onto the white on a cool Christmas tree rag quilt. I learned the hard way - I used to always prewash - but got away with it the first time I washed it.
Just don't
get in a hurry like I did. Thanks for all your help and so quickly
I think you have some beautiful projects. I love to hear about my
favorite subject in so many different ways.
The recipes are a nice sideline too!
I have been sewing on and off since I was a girl. Now that the kids are grown I've been pursuing more and trying alot of new ideas.
I've worked in a fabric store part time up until recently.
I am so blessed cause I've met some really talented friends and they are so willing to pass on their knowledge.
Looking forward to checking in with you again Ginny :D

Welcome Ginny! I sure hope your red quilt comes out ok..so disheartening for that to happen :cry:
Maybe you'll have more fun..just gabbing with us. Post a pic of your quilt so we can all commiserate with you. (i'm trying to teach my hubby how to do that without trying to solve the problem-its not going too well so far :shock:

Synthropol might possibly save your red/white project if you haven't washed and dried it yet. I get mine from Dharma Trading Company online. It's a detergent specially designed to prevent bleeding and can sometimes lift out migrated dye molecules from the white fabrics.
