My one bad story about bleeding fabric was a name brand fabric but I don't remember the brand bought at a quilt shop. I also used a blue from the same collection and had no problems. The red dye was just not set, and even though I had prewashed when I washed the quilt it came out not as I expected with blue, grey, maroon and twinkles of white it came out with bits of baby pink! I found another piece of the red from the same line (it is the same design I used in the blue) at a thrift shop and picked it up to use as comparison. The two fabrics below started out the same color (maroon). The one that is now orange-ish has been washed about 6 times and still bleeds...
So now in addition to prewashing I do a transfer test if I have any doubt. Before fabric goes into my stash and ready for scrap quilting I am sure of it.
