I bought 6 yards of a red fabric. I laundered it at lest 6 times and could not get it to stop bleeding. I still have that yardage but have not used it yet. I am going to make a "comforter" (sheet or fabric on both sides with polyester batting and then tying. I will use the same fabric on both sides and let it bleed. It was costly and I am much more careful than I was in those days.
