What it new floss? I am afraid to try embroidering after hearing that? What brand did you use?

I havent tried anything yet cause I didnt quilt it yet and the quilt marks will disappear if i try washing it. I am going to look at it tomorrow and see how much time and effort it will take to take the threads out use a clorox pen and see if I can white it out so to speak. It really upset me because it was for my only grandaughter for her birthday and I had spent so much time on it and you all know how it would feel. I know now it wont be done on time. I used brand new DMC from joanns for this project and have 5 quilts made the same way by my mom and wash them all the time and never had them run and she always used DMC. I could understand the fabric bleeding but the thread.
Thanks everyone for the suggestions and i will definitely try some or all of them i'm sure.

After looking again at the quilt if i take out the thread and try to wash the dye out all the little dots for the quilting will come out then I wont know where to quilt so I am going to quilt it as is and then try to remove it with those color catcher sheets. I am too new a quilter to try and remember where to quilt so I really need those dots. I also noticed that some of the dots disappeared so I am wondering if some of the stain is from that and if it is it may wash out. I will just have to suck it up and just finish it and she will some day laugh with me about it I hope.
Thanks for all your suggestions.
