Thread: What do you do with a fabric that won't stop bleeding?

If I can return it - I try to - but most of my fabrics have had a chance to "age" - so I probably no longer have the receipt.

II no receipt - I discard it - in the waste basket! I will not donate it and cause someone else to have problems. Sometimes I will use it for practice runs with the serger - but no way will I use it for something that will actually be used.

Wonderful as Synthropol and color catchers may be - the people I give quilts to will probably not have it /them on hand or remember to use it/them.

I have a couple red pieces like that. Going to use it to make grocery totes. It bleeds so bad you can see it on black. I've washed it 5 times in hot water. May give it to DH to cover machinery.

I toss it. I think it's the safest thing to do. I will give it a good wash several times in hot water and if it doesn't stop, it's out.

I use them for pet bed stuffing.

If it doesn't respond to a Retayne treatment, it goes in the rag bag.

Throw it away unless you can use it for a pet bed or something like that. So irritating when that happens!!
