Sorry, I misunderstood. I have used ribbons and laces on crazy quilts and never had any problems & even bits of beadwork. Haven't tried the yarns as of yet. If you are concerned you could always handwash to make sure there wasn't any bleed. I know there are so many lovely items out there to use on our quilts that is can become mindboggling....but IMHO if you like/love them...then by all means give them a try especially if they are for wallhanging artworks rather than actual quilts. That said, if I really loved something I would also try it on a quilt. We are only limited by ourselves....I know you've/we've seen stunning work with just about everything imaginable on them. So have fun and let your imagination take hold. The worst thing that can happen is a mistake and we all know it takes those mistakes to help us learn. Also many mistakes have been the forerunners of absolutely brilliant ideas.
