fabric bleed
I prewash all of my quilt fabric and was amazed recently when a quilt I was binding bled after being laid on table where droplets of water had formded at the base of a glass. Yikes! So I put it in the bath tub. The offender was a Kaffe red fabric. Squeezed out and all was great. Hung overnight on rack and woke in the morning to find another fabric (Alison Glass) aqua had bled onto border. Googled and found the Dawn detergent method. Swish, rinse, repeat. Now that is over and quilt will be bound this weekend, I am researching what can I do to prevent this in the future. Retayne product or Synthrapol??? Read several conflicting views... Any experience, opinions or other thoughts?
