I would love to give this a try someday. One more question. What fabric do you use to dye?
I bought the starter kit with procion dyes and cotton PFD fabric (got 3 yards each of 3 different kinds to try out) all through Dharma trading company. Collected household supplies off and on until I had what I needed. Did lots of reading and internet searches ahead of time, took a deep breath, and went for it. Yes, it was a lot of rinsing which wasnt great but am trying to find more information on how to let your washing machine do the rinsing.
