Do you realize that sometimes that bleed you are finding, is only there until after the first wash?
Or that, most times, the most effort it takes is a Retayne treatment/soak, and all is stabilized?

Gosh, to just eliminate a fabric so quickly,
that seems to be a waste of time (shopping!) and money ..... Yes, JIMHO!
The use of Retayne, use of water, use of power, use of my time, and it takes a second wash to see if the bleeding stops and then third if it doesn't and on and on....I've read where some wash it four or five times. Not worth the effort to me. Bleeding fabric gets passed on to someone that wants to deal with it and I'm back to quilting and not messing with it. The "have to make it work because I bought it" is not my way of thinking.
