Default help with Retayne...

the retayne said to wash the fabric in water of 140 F, very hot, for 20 min then to rinse in cold water and dry at once.

OK how do you know if the fabric is going to stop running? It also said after fabric has been treated with the retayne to always wash in cool water..

would you wash it again in the cool water without soap and some color catchers and see if it stopped running..

Before all this treatment I had wash this fabric [10 yds] more the 10 times and the color catchers came out really dark with the color.. by the way it is a dark turquoise...I hate to have to buy more fabric but I would also hate to have it run all over the front of the quilt that has some white in it ...This quilt was for a present so I don't want it to run on her first wash..

What would you do wash it again and see if it runs or buy more fabric.. Thanks
