reds and color catchers HELP I need somebody! :)
I have a question. I decided to wash a bunch of my red fabrics first the other day. I used two color catchers in the wash they came out red... so I put one in the dryer with everything also and it came out dark pink.. so question is I wet tested the fabrics one still bleeds. Should I use retayne on them I bought it but have never used it (bought it for batik fq's). or is it ok to use in a quilt and will a color catcher pick up what bleeds so it doesn't ruin the quilt top? this is important: of note I used some of that scrappy red in my medallion rick rack round.. about 2.5" 2 squares per side so not many but.. its right next to white. these little scraps I didn't think to wash.. sigh. its in two rounds in now so I cant just rip it out.. help help help.
(hey can I use retayne on that quilt top and will it hold the colors inside their own fabrics or in all my fabrics egad!).. there are two of us wondering about these color catchers just saw a post in quilt for quilters of same issue..
