Ditto, Thanks OP!
I always pre-wash because of this and the fear of color-run. BTW, I picked up some of the "color-catcher" sheets on clearance @ Joann's yesterday for 75% off, used a $5 off $20 even on "sale & discounted items":-D I use them on darks & reds.
I have lately been using the "Simplicity Rotary Cutting Machine" (useless IMHO for cutting accurate strips), & have found it to be fast, as it plugs into the wall & has the foot pedal. I wouldn't really buy it just for this, but since I waited too long to return it...let my girl scouts use it to pink some cloth projects & discovered it's usefulness for quickly pinking my fabric for pre-wash.
