I'll try my hand at the new technique cause if it makes my life easier.............why not. Had some fabrics bleed on me. Someone mentioned hot water and vinegar. Well, it did an okay job but not really great. Then read to use the blue Dawn dish soap. Yes, now that worked for me so now I'll use the Dawn system. Someone mentioned using Elmer's Glue for whatever the situation was at the time. Loved it and now use it whenever I can while piecing and/or putting my binding on my quilt. If it means less chances of pricking myself with straight pins, I'm all for it. There's so many ideas/suggestions I've read on this digest that have made life easier for me.
