There's a product called synthrapol to stop colour bleeding in fabric
it is a liquid you add to your washing machine etc
it is very inexpensive for the lucky u.s quilter
as we in canada are dealing with a very low dollar value
follow the directions on the bottle
do not be afraid to make your quilt and wash with synthrapol
my first rescue of a quilt was one someone discarded
because the quilt had been dried after the colours had bled
have been a fan ever since
any reputable quilt shop sells it
or will custom order it
