The longer it reamains in the quilt the harder it will be to remove. Hopefully you can get it out.
If you put the quilt in the dryer ..... it will be very difficult the heat will set some of the dyes.
Well, that's aggravating. I asked the lady in the LQS the other day, and she said to use Retayne. I had bought a big bottle of the Synthrapol because I had thought that was what I needed to use and had to buy the Retayne after I talked to her. I didn't put it in the dryer. I really appreciate all the good ideas. I'm going to have to sleep on it. It's a stained glass quilt, and I spent a lot of money on all the bias that went into it.
