Using the same water throughout shouldn't make it splotchy, as it is going to run off, and not pool if it is hanging up.
Soaking it, it is going to try and float, the folds and creases could get less/more dye water depending on how it is laying in the water.

As I was reading this, subconciously I was thinking about the coffee stain on one of my blouses that won't wash out. I must have laughed in my coffe cup when I was reading the quiltingboard. If the tea doesn't stain dark enough make a pot of coffee and put that in the sprayer bottle. Hope you have enough pieces for a few test runs.
