Can someone explain what a colour catcher is, never heard of this before, i sometimes wash my fabrics, not all the time though, sew still yet to experience any shrinkage after putting a quilt together. Penny :)
A color catcher is a sheet (it looks similar to a fabric sheet) that is placed in the washer and it catches any dyes that come off in the wash. They are made by shout brand products. I have has wonderful experience with them. From my understanding they don't work in a front load washer.
