I bought two pieces of red fabrics yesterday to use for Christmas table runners. I decided to check for color fastness and, sure enough, bleeding of both pieces.
When checking info abut it, the website said that front-loading washing machines "do not supply enough water to properly treat" the fabric. I would need to "swish it around for 20 minutes". Has anyone done this? Twenty minutes is a long time to stand there swishing fabric!!!
Has anyone had any luck using the washing machine? I have two pieces that are each 1.5 yards. I'm wondering if I do each one separately in the machine if that would be enough water?
