old embroidery thread
Cousin asking about a quilt that had squares put together to form Beautiful quilt--very old and worried about the embroidery floss colors running into white background--does anyone know whether this old floss will fade into quilting fabrics--Thanks so much... lifelong novice-

Many of the older flosses did run into the background fabrics, and I would suggest it being washed with a colour catcher & in cool water. I still have some floss from my grandma and if you put the skein into water it bleeds out a lot of colour.
