Would it be possible to sew a decorative stitch along the pink lines? Maybe in the pink so that it would look intentional. Just a thought.

I'm very sorry this happened to your lovely quilt. A potential visual help might be to run rickrack along the quilting lines. It's already zigzag so it'll just add a little more.

Quilters! I need to cry on your collective shoulders. I made an enormous, queen-size, zig zag quilt for our bed. I love it. It's the first time I've ever used flannel backing -- I believe it was the snuggle flannel from Joann's. Anyway, I finally washed it and the flannel (hot pink) has bled through to the front where the quilting lines are!!!! Oh no!!!! So, so sad:( Is there anything I can do now?
BTW, I've been lurking for a year and have learned so much here. |
Can't help with suggestions but good luck. It's a lovely quilt.

this is a thread that i saved as it relates to your bleeding disaster. i think the synthropol is the way she went. hopefully this thread plus the suggestions you get here will help.

Rit makes a product to take out colors that bled, you could try that. i have found that it works even on something that has been dried if it is going to work, sunlight works as a bleaching agent which is less hard on the fabric than bleach. The Rit is easier to find than anything else that has been suggested. I like to use Biz rather than the Clorox 2 because the enzymes work well.

I have no laundry ideas not already mentioned, but my heart almost stopped when I saw the damage! Sympathy, Sympathy, Sympathy!!!!! My jaw literally dropped.

Joann's has them in the notion section, they are called dye catchers and you can use a coupon. I use them all the time and you can get up to 30 washes from them. I have never used any other kind as I have found these work at least for me.
|
My heart aches for you, it is a beautiful quilt. I'd follow the suggestions of all of the other quilters and know that, if it helps, I'll be pulling for a successful outcome.
