I soak any bleeders in hot water with a dab of Dawn over night. If they bleed after that, out the door they go. I have no interest in using expensive, specialty detergents, color catchers, or wasting my time and water on multiple washes. If it's good enough for Vicki Welsh it's good enough for me.

eta: I don't think bleeding is limited to "good quality" fabrics. I have a red P & B Textiles, Alex Anderson print that bled a lot until I fixed it with the hot water & Dawn method.
