I know that some of the batiks from some of the company's won't run or bleed. I believe Hoffman has always said that. It is because of the process they use for the dying, then they are washed. A lot of the "big box stores' buy theirs from places that don't wash them until they quit bleeding. You would find the feel of most of those fabrics a bit different from the feel of Hoffman and some others. I have both and it is nice not to have to wash and wash the Hoffman's before use.
I don't buy precuts, but I wonder if most of the precut batiks are free of dye bleeding. Most places don't recommend pre washing precuts.
