I just purchased a bottle of Retayne and I want to wash some batik fat quarters. I plan to hand stitch some hexies for a Grandmother's Flower Garden wall hanging. The directions say to wash for 20 minutes in HOT water, then any subsequent washes should be in cool water.
My question is: can I wash multiple colours in the same batch or should I do it in several washes? What about those 'colour catchers' that are available? Has anyone used them?
Thanks for the help, I just know that one of my quilting friends on the board will have the answer.
