I bought black fabric with white polka dots. What I really want is black with yellow dots. Here is the question, if I dye the fabric with yellow dye will it change the color of the black? I'm hoping that someone has had experience with dying fabrics and can answer this for me. Thank you.

Wash it first to remove the sizing and DON'T use fabric softner. Then try a test strip. Might be a lot of work but it will be creative. Even if all the dot's don't come out the same color it will make it interesting.
