Marge for CT batiks they didn't bleed or run at all. I don't think you need the retayne. I prewashed all of them with a color catcher and that was that. I don't think the color catcher even grabbed much if at all!
By the way, did you use hot water and hot dryer?
Thanks Candace for the info. I think I'll try your way and then if mine turns out differently, I can still go to retayne. These were so beautiful and silky. At first I thought they were silk or whatever, but after reading more in the catalog, found out they really are l00% cotton.
