I don't know if you saw my earlier post. I have a front loading machine, so I just put some hot water in a stainless steel bowl, added the Retayne and the fabric. I let it soak, then put it in the washing machine to rinse.

Great information on this thread, as per usual on this board!
It is kind of a funny review for me, as my Mother is a traditional rug hooker and dyes all her wools to make her rugs. And may I add they are so beautiful.
I on the other hand like to dye my fabrics, 100% cotton, for some of my quilts and of course being a child of the 60's....I like to dye my tee shirts!
The processes and chemicals used are sometimes different. And sometimes the prcesses are the same....but never the dyes.
Certainly is an interesting subject on the thread....

A lot of very useful information, as usual from our friends on the board. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experiences.

Very interesting and useful info. Thanks all.

I found Retayne at WalMart recently and bought some. Thanks so much for the suggestions. I'll have it on hand in case I need it.

Wow it is a good thing you caught this. It is bad enough it happens when you are making something for yourself but for someone else yikes!!.

Well, once again I have learned a few
things from this thread. Thanks to
everyone who shared!! Hugs, Sharon

Lucky for you, now you will have a happy customer.

LOL
Now that was funny.
Strawberry milk. lol

I do, too, but some fabrics just keep on running. That's when you need to use Retayne or Synthrapol depending on whether they're hand dyes or not.
