I followed the instructions to a "T". I did the rinse and heat set and didn't have any ink run off at all or at least none I could see. I've been working on the quilts for 3 months, so I know I'm way past the "wait 24-48 hours to wash" time. My hubby brought home some color catchers this morning, so I'm going to try them. I think I'm just scared all my hard work will be thrown away. I'll let you know how they turn out. Thank you all! You rock!
