bleeding fabric
#1
okay i know that there is a setting solution for batiks that bleed real bad. is it called synthop? (sp?) Also can I get it at a local grocery store. I have looked and looked and can't seem to find anything that will stop the bleeding. I did find the color catchers by shout, would this work or do I just need to set the fabric? I have a front loader so can't use the shout color catchers. are there any that can be used in a front loader?

Oh I usually do bleed my fabric in the sink. I was thinking after it was made into a quilt and finished. I was trying to find something that I could throw into the wash with the finished quilt. I also am looking for something that I might find at the grocery store because I can't hit the quilt shop for a couple of days.
