I always prewash in hot water. I've never had too many problems with batiks.

But as I've mentioned before, the WORST bleeder was a dark green check. It bled all over the other greens in the wash load: that's when I'd just read about Colour Catchers on this board. After a trip to WallyWorld and another couple of washes, the catchers saved the day.

And the "dark" green check turned out to be a light green check once the excess dye washed out. I keep it above the laundry table as a reminder.
