Ironed fabric changes color?
#1
Has anyone else had fabric that changes color as you iron it?
I have this nice HOT pink fabric I am putting into a quilt for my DGD for Christmas. I noticed that when I press it it turns purple. As it cools, it goes back to its original color.
I have never seen fabric do this before. Anyone else?
Is this an indication of a problem with the fabric? Is is going to run or fade more? I haven't washed it yet. Maybe I should have but it is probably too late now. It is all cut and sewn into the quilt. Should I be worried?

I just bought some Orange cotton for a piece I am working on and BOY am I glad I prewashed ( I dont actually wash, I soak it in hot water for @ 10 min ) then toss it in the dryer. Let's just say the water was VERY colorful!! First piece I have had to bleed in years! It also had a extreme color change when ironing as well.. but as u said, it goes back to normal when it cools.
