Washable Markers Question
When you wash a finished quilt that has washable marker all over it, will a color catcher catch that color? I am very confused....(not the first time, LOL).....I used all Kaufman Kona in black white and red. I prewashed all of it with color catchers to see if there was any bleeding, but they came out white....so I assumed I was good to cut and piece. Yesterday, I washed the finished quilt to get rid of the glue used for basting, washable markers and any dirt accumulated during construction....along with a color catcher. That color catcher came out orange! I have no idea how this happened unless it was the markers. Will the washable markers leave behind enough dye to tint a color catcher? Do the markers completely wash out, or do they leave behind a residue that will need a color catcher at every wash? I cannot see any markings, so I can only guess they are gone, but am still wondering where that orange came from.
