I hit the spots with Shout and rewashed, again with Color Catchers. Still had spots.

I've washed it again two more times, still with Color Catchers. IDK if it's a trick of the light but it seems the spots are gone now. I'm going to wash once more though just to be sure. After I run it through the dryer, I'll update this thread.

If the spots are not gone, any suggestions?

What about this flannel backing fabric? I have another 4+ yards of it and it's quite attractive too. I was originally going to throw it out but now I wonder. Maybe if I wash it 3-4 times and/or only use it with a dark colored top? What do you all think?

Thanks.
