So I got a solid black fabric from fabric.com. I tested it in hot water and it bled profusely. I kept rinsing and rinsing it until it finally stopped bleeding. Does anyone know if it definitely will NOT bleed any more?

Try setting the dye with a HOT iron, then try rinsing or soaking again.
black and red are bad!

I would wash it in Retayne to set the dye.
