Then I wash it with an old white towel in the washer with laundry detergent. If it's going to run or bleed I want it to do it before I use it. So far I haven't had it fade, wash out, bleed or run. After I wash it I toss it into the dryer on cotton, then I iron again.
Somewhere I read, maybe on the instructions on the rinse? I read that before you do the rinse, the print will do better if you allow the printing to dry for half an hour. I figured it was like using newspapers for foundation; newspapers should lie around for at least two weeks to ensure that the print on the paper won't transfer to your fabric.
