Please Help - Bleeding on Customer Quilt
Hi - I've never messed up a quilt before in my life. I hope someone can help me. This man gave me a quilt that his mom had quilted. It is bright red and yellow with a light blue border. It was very wrinkled as it had been stored a while. I was going to steam iron it so I could put it on the longarm machine. When I was putting water into my iron, some dripped on the quilt, plus with me trying to steam iron it, the red began to bleed onto the yellow and blue. I read the "Save my Bleeding Quilt", but I'm afraid to put the whole customer quilt into hot water and Dawn. I was wondering if I can just put the area that is bleeding into cold water and Dawn. Will that work? Hot water scares me. I'm so anxious about this. Thanks for any help you can give me.
