reds---batiks or not---are notorious for bleeding---as are many deeply saturated colors- it is always a good idea to at least color test if you are not planning to pre-wash- that way if you have a bleeder you can prewash- and take care of it before using it in a project. i've had good luck with synthropol & color catchers. it's always easiest & best to deal with it before it goes into your project- sometimes we have to deal with it later though--good luck
