How to Determine if Fabric Will Bleed More Red
I have some fabric for a baby quilt which has dogs on it of which some are the dreaded RED. Even though this fabric was washed before, I see the red doggies have bled a bit (dreadful description, I know, but it's true).
I've already picked all my fabrics for the quilt - and starched and ironed them- so I really want to use the doggie fabric which will be the center fabric for 13 blocks.
So. Rather than plunge ahead after already having discerned a problem staring me in the face...I think I should stop and put the doggie fabric in the sink and see if I get even more bleeding.
But what do I put in with the doggies? Just warm water? Hot water? Hot water and the renowned original Dawn dish soap? Help me please.
