Try white vinegar in some water. Rinse it well though because the vinegar smell tends to linger.

Thanks, if I can't find something here I'll yell. It's not something I've ever looked for, or thought about, so there might well be heaps of products here I've just never noticed. lol



White vinegar is magic stuff isn't it, so many uses for it. Will that seal the colour in or just pull the extra colour out?

can you return it? I consider fabric that bleeds to be defective.

Vinegar is supposed to set the color in.

I could... if I knew where I got it from! lol

It's been in my stash for quite some time, I haven't got a clue where I got it. Bits like that which I've bought purely because I love the colour, I tend to get at shows when there's merchants from around the country here.

So sorry to hear about your dye running. I live in Australia and i managed to get some of those color catcher sheets here in Woolworths which i was surprised to get as we cant usually get many things that they can get in the USA. If you can't let me know and I will post you a box.

Ahhh.... I had a look in woolworths tonight but couldn't see any. Mind you, it's quite a small one. We do our weekly shop tomorrow at a bigger store, so will check in there.

In the "olden days" I can remember using a strong salt water solution to soak "runny" fabric in to set the color.. Would make a bucket of it, soak the item in it then rinse several times. Worked when I used it but alas I can't remember the proportions.

make sure its washed in synthropol when it is washed and that will keep it from going onto other fabric. I had some red run once and I stuck it right back in the washer with the synthropol and it all came out...never without it.

we used to do this inthe OLD days so our jeans wouldn't fade....now they try and fade them... :lol:
