Me, too! I apologize for getting "on the soap box" with this -- this happened to me on my first bed-sized quilt -- but I found out about the bleeding BEFORE I cut my borders, and the product I used is a safety procedure I go through more for my own peace of mind. I'm not selling it -- I'm not selling anything. I just know it works, but it won't work AFTER you cut and assemble your quilt! I do pre-wash everything because of asthma, but I also check out the colors -- it's a lot easier to prevent (at least for me) than it is to clean up a bleeding quilt. Physically, I can't handle the bath tub so if I have any doubts, I pre-treat! I'm very, very happy that the bleeding came out!
