Hummm. Interesting. I did a preprinted embrodery quilt, probably early 60s. Didn't acturally do the quilting until probably 20+ years later. It washed out just fine..........thankfully. I have no idea what brand it was. Only know it was a light blue back ground, and X stitched embrodery with darker blue floss. I must have done something right that day!
