I only use Retayne if the fabric does not stop bleeding.
Two of the fabrics have already been washed several times with Color Catchers and they are still bleeding. The third fabric is from the same company. I have already decided not to buy any more fabric from them, but I would like to get this fabric in a useable condition. I have 5 yards of one and 4 another and 2 yards of the last. They may end up being dog beds...though those get washed too.
Thanks for the information from both of you.
