Setting colors in a quilt
I just completed a quilt and I want to make sure the colors do not bleed or fade. What is the best way to go about setting the colors?

youndo not want to use Retayne on a quilt; it will permanently set any dye bleeds. I like to use Synthrapol in the first wash, as it suspends unset dye particles in the water so they don't stain fabrics. However, it is also essential to use LOTS of water so any dye bleeds are diluted sufficiently.
