I use Kona black and haven't had any fading or bleeding problems.
I've bought it from Joann's and from Fabric.com and I can't tell any difference in the quality between the two. I don't think Kona comes in different qualities, it is the same fabric as far as I know. Just make sure you're getting Kona and not one of the other brands of solid fabric Joann's carries - they DO carry other solid fabrics that aren't Kona and sometimes they're mixed together on the shelves.

My mother taught me to presoak it in water with a generous amount of white vinegar and salt. I use tepid or cold water and mix in the salt first to be sure it dissolves first, then add the vinegar. It seems to work. Them if and when you wash it, use cold water.
