Synchropol, Joann's may have it. I had. One with orange dye on white and after trying everything I could think of I tried it and it,s 99% out, just don,t use dryer. I think I used hot water and about a half a small bottle but it was last resort. Those luck it,s very pretty.

If you've dried it in the dryer, it's probably permanent. I would just call it a design element!

Oh, honey, what a tragedy! Can you feel me holding your hands and patting your shoulders? I have no idea how to help this situation.

Oh, no! I'm so sorry this happened, to your beautiful quilt. :(

So sorry this happened to your pretty quilt!

If you didn't put it in the dryer then yes rewash and put it in the sun with lemon and salt. If you put it in the dryer sorry it's heated permanent. I think though it gives character and a cool effect.

Yes! Don't dry it if you have not done yet.

You do have my sympathy as well. But look at the bright side, you have learned a valuable lesson about testing and pre-washing. I would also suggest finding a different source for fabric for all your wonderful projects in the future. I am not a fan of the quality of JoAnn's products. Like you I learned the hard way as well. Made a beautiful hand quilted sampler that faded horribly (with very little use as it is in a guest room) as well as the fabric literally coming apart in places. Additionally, I have read numerous horror stories here about their flannels. I prefer to only use them for notions, tools and specialty items like fusible interfacing. You can get wonderful flannels and quilt shop quality fabrics on line for a fraction of the price JA charges. Try www.thousandsofbolts.com. And for Synthropol, which you may have difficulty finding in your area, I highly recommend Dharma Trading Co. http://www.dharmatrading.com/topnav/chemicals/

One of the poblems with using the bleach on those areas is that the bleaching will weaken the threads, and you will find it wearing faster in those areas. Also it will continue to bleach as you wash it each time in the future. I have discovered that buying fabric at Joann's, especially their flannel, is not the smartest thing I have done. I usually wash their flannel at least 2 times, sometimes 3 to get the excess dyes out, and to get it well pre-shrunk. Sadly, this is one of those "live-and-learn" lessons that we all have at one time or another.

NO Bleach.. Try the Synthropol , oxyclean and color catches first.. I have had luck with that. This is one of the reasons every single piece of fabric I bring in the house gets washed first... but it still happens sometimes .. I had to get black out of mine and it worked. I washed in Synthropol , got a bit out then did the oxyclean and color catches a couple of times. I didn't dry it until I was sure everything was out.
