What about the Amish Black from Keepsake? Does that have issues?

One thing you might try on any dark fabric is to give it a vinegar bath/soak and then wash and dry it. Vinegar helps to set the color.

Thanks, I've been wanting to order some so now I know. Chris |
I use Kona cotton and have never had that problem. You are right, thank goodness you didn't use it before washing.

I have bought Tons of fabric from Wal Mart and never had any fade or change colors. I always wash and dry fabrics from anywhere before I use it. Vinegar should work and once it is dry you should not smell it, I would maybe rinse it twice but, not wash twice. Same as using bleach on your clothes once it is dry there shouldn't be any smell. I have been with quilting for about 44 yr.s

With grocery store vinegar it's not possible to have a high enoungh concentration of vinegar to do any harm to fabric. Grocery store vinegar is already only a 5% or 3% solution of vinegar. Adding vinegar to the final rinse in a load of clothes will kill the detergent suds and help rinse the detergent out without adding the fats of fabric softener. |
Retayne in a fabulous color setter, made esp. to set dye. Find it at your LQS, or on line. I't very inexpensive and works. :thumbup:
