This is was a very interesting read so thank you for sharing! I do have to say that for me personally it would take ALL of the joy out of quilt making if I had to do this with every fabric. I have not had problems to date and maybe someday I will but ugh no way do I want to go through this! I guess I will just be sad when/if I ever have a quilt that bleeds.
