Batiks are notorious for bleeding. Although I have never tried it, you could try setting the dye with white vinegar. Before Retayne I used salt water but found I had to do it over and over and over again.

I'll contact them. I'm hoping it is safe for children...right now, I only have one back-up fabric in case my batik idea falls through (and I wouldn't even have that if someone hadn't suggested it---I believe it was Sue who posted it).
