Its a clear chemical put out by G & K Craft Industries Ltd. Its a colro fixative for Commercialy dyed cotton fabrics. It recommends 1 teaspoon per yd. and if your doing a quilt use hot water 140 degrees and add dry cotton and set for a 20 minute wash. Rinse with cool water and dry right away. Personally I check all fabrics as I wash them. I also cut the corners to tell me that I did just that. You can purchase this product in good quilt shops. I don't recall seeing it in JoAnns. Its in the area of $10. for 4 ounces and its goes a long ways.
