Perhaps I'm looking at this issue wrong -- but I'm financially limited, as most folks are, to some extent. If I purchase a specific fabric for a specific quilt, and that fabric bleeds -- I've already paid out my money -- so my method is that I use a product I found on-line -- Rit Dye Laundry Treatment. It is a dye-setter, and it works. I first test all fabric, then treat the bleeding fabric with the Rit product, rinse it, wash it, dry it and iron it. It is much less expensive than throwing the fabric away, or whatever one would do with a bleeding fabric otherwise. I've learned to pre-test my fabric for bleeding (particularly reds, but any vibrant or deep-colored fabric can be a bleeder, and price does not guarantee that your fabric won't bleed. The product I use is inexpensive, so discretion is the better part of valor (emphasis added), I also add a color catcher to my wash when I'm washing a quilt. I know they work.
And, please, I feel I must add this: I have no financial interest in the company that makes or distributes the product mentioned above, nor do I have any ownership interest in the company.
