Jeanette, what is the name of the Ritz product you found to prevent bleeding? Would you pm me the info please. Thanks.
I prewash all of my fabrics and had a DWR queen size I made for my daughter several years ago, bleed when it was washed. I had prewashed all of the fabric before cutting it out an thought all was good to go but the green still bled after the quilt was made and I could never get it out.
I never cut the selvage off until I am ready to use the fabric and save it sometimes so if I need more of the same fabric. I always leave a little on the piece to be sure of the grain of the fabric - old school teaching for me.
Funny to run across this thread after just reading about salvaging your selvage on Mayra at So Sew Easy with her free Romper pattern. You might want to check it out and read the article.
