Since we are on the subject of batiks, can I ask if batiks have a 'color run' problem? I know there are some of you quilters that prewash fabrics and some prefer not, but I don't want a problem with bleeding after completing the quilt and ready for laundering. I am planning an applique angel quilt with ALL batiks, but there are some that are lighter shades and many are medium dark and dark. Thanks to the great members of this board. YOU are the best.
