I am very frustrated with the people who state jelly rolls or fabrics won't run or bleed. Horse pucky! I've personally seen it because I do prewash all my fabrics including jelly rolls and balipops. I soak them like colors in my sink and determine if they are safe. Those that aren't get a dose of white vinegar or retayne depending on the quantity of bleed. Sheesh ladies, why set her up for disaster? You can also put the strips in longerie bags in the washer if you are concerned about agitation and distortion. The sink generally works well and dry over a broom stick in my shower stall.
