What techniques and/or products have you found work best for washing batics prior to quilting? Especially those pesky orangy, red, yellow ones that bleed like crazy....
One Word - Retayne !
This is some of the best stuff in the world! You only have to use it once and you can wash red with white with no running. I use it on my clothes. It's great stuff! I always say I should do commercials for it, cuz I'm always pushing it at the quilt shop..LOL ! Try it, and if it doesn't work, I'll reimburse your fabric! That's how sure of it I am! But u have to use it properly, read the directions!
Have fun and good luck -
