What you can do - take a small piece of that red - and a small piece of that white - put them in a glass of hot water with a dab of dish detergent and see what happens. According to a couple of the members here - if the white is resistant to that red dye - you are okay.

Personally - if I KNOW I have a bleeder - I discard it. I think of it in the same way as I think of spoiled food.

Although - if I still had the receipt for the red and I had purchased it within the last year or so - I would try to take it back to the store for a refund. I consider fabric that bleeds to be defective (unless there is a disclaimer on the end of the bolt -in which case I would have avoided buying it)
