I am about 3/4 done with my mother's quilt. I tried to do everything right by washing and ironing all my fabrics... Well, as I was doing my quilting stitches, I noticed that the backing, which is a burgandy color, was leaving a pinkish tint on my sewing machine... I washed the darn thing and it's still doing that. I think that if I wash the quilt after i'm done that it will leave pink on some of the light patches...What can I do? should I have it steam cleaned at the cleaners? Should I just leave it, hoping that it doesn't leave a residue just by using it as a throw? I know now that I should have washed it more times... I get that now so please don't beat a dead horse.. I just need your advise now..... but what do I do now, if anything?? I thought about taking a wet cloth and just lightly rubbing it til it's no longer coming off pink. has anyone had this problem? What did you do? :cry:
