Bleedilng Fabric
Do you let the store/shop know when you get a bleeder?
If you do, what does the store/shop do about it?
I would think that if enough of the stores/shops start to howl about "problem" fabrics, that the manufacturers might start to do something about them.
I, for one, think that after one washing to get rid of excess dye, that the dyes should be stable and that no further treatment should be necessary by the buyer.
I consider bleeding (unless indicated that it will happen on the end label of the bolt) to be a manufacturing flaw and should be brought to the attention of the shop owners any time it happens.
What the store/shop does with it is up to them, but I would think that they would return it to whoever they purchased it from - and so on up the line.
This, of course, does require that the fabric(s) get wet fairly soon after purchase and that receipts are kept.
