I am not sure how to create an update on an original post so I am simply creating a new post here with a link to my original posting.

SUCCESS....... SUCCESS....... SUCCESS......
After quite a few hours of soaking the affected areas with dye catcher sheets and then washing it; I finally was able to get all traces of the dye running removed from my table runner!! I breathed a HUGE sigh of relief when I saw all color runs had been removed! WOOHOO!! :-D :-D :-D
THANK YOU to ALL who so kindly answered my posting and suggested the color catcher cloths. And also for the pats on the back and the 'oh poor baby' sentiments! ;)
Thank you again SEW very much for your fabulous suggestions!!
I am posting new photos of my runner that looks so much better now.... except it's a bit wrinkled.. Sorry to post 3 photos it's just so long I can't get it into one shot!!

Although a bit wrinkled at the moment... this embrodery was my first thought when planning this runner.

I added a bit of applique and machine embroidery

I created this runner to be facing the correct way on each end as I was using directional prints.

We all have had those "OH, NO!" moments. I'm so happy you were able to get the bleeding out:)
