Setting the COlor
Yes, there is. I had some red I was using as sashing on a quilt. It bled again and again. I tried lots of things. I finally found a website for "Rit". I ordered the "Rit" Dyesetter. It cost more to have it shipped than the product itself. However, I would gladly have paid twice the price. Try this test. Take a small strip (1" wide x 3-4") and soak it in a glass of warm water for 10 minutes. If your color is going to bleed, you can tell by taking an all white piece of paper towel and putting it in the same glass of water. If the fabric is going to bleed, you can see it in the paper towel. 'Could save you washing all the fabric! In my quilt I had red embroidery on a white background with red sashing. If the red had bled over onto the white, the piece would have been ruined!
By the way, I tested the fabric after I used the product, as well, and it did not bleed.
