i had this happen to me, and since then, i am fanatical about sorting fabric before i rinse it....i do not usually wash fabric first, but all red gets washed, rinsed and washed and rinsed again.....gina

Red is a bad color for bleeding. I resently used red for and inside boarder and as I was pressing, with spray starch I saw that it was going to bleed big time. I ripped it out and put it back in a pile of fabric that I have that is pretty but not useble in quilts. And I labeled it so it won't ever be used in quilts. I think if I was to wash it (too much hassel), it would loose its great bright color.
