I have never quilted with flannel.

I'm making a baby quilt in reds, blacks and whites.

I decided I'd better prewash because I know reds are real bad about bleeding. I rinsed all the other fabrics by hand and nothing bled.

I have one solid dark red fabric. I rinsed and rinsed in a bowl and it just wouldn't stop bleeding. I added soap and still no change, it wasn't even lightening. I decided to squirt in some Spray and Wash. WAH LAH! No more bleeding! It just stopped!

WOW! I never would have thought of using S&W. I'll definitely try it. Whatever made you think of it?

Awesome tip , thanks for sharing it with us :D

Hve to try that. WOnder if the same thing is in the COlor catchers. I use them. Thanks for the tip

I use color catchers all the time. Love them!

I have no idea! lol

Thanks fo the tip and by the way those are some very nice fabrics you have!

I know lots of people who aren't babies who would love your quilt!
For those of you with asthma, spray and wash really triggers mine. Inventive idea, though.

white vinegar is used to set tie dye shirts, so if I have something that bleeds alot, I put some white vinegar in the water and that stops it as well.

Great fabrics! :)
