janice1120, you might find them in a quilt shop or go online to order.

I've ALWAYS used RETAYNE to prewash quilt fabric, so this is a new ballgame for me. Glad I found this thread.
I didn't use HOT water when I washed my finished quilt though the water I used was warm. I haven't always washed my fabrics before I use them but am doing it more now. I am sure when you buy a kit they do not add enough fabric for prewash shrinking.

Here is the website that Jane Knapp referred to in her quote. It also gives information about Retayne.

Thanks for posting the links and info about these products. It's a big help to me!

I love those color catchers. I send them in the package with the quilt. And instruct the recipient to use them when washing the quilt. Especially if there is reds or blacks in the quilt.

I also use them when washing my clothes so the color does not fade out.

I have used Blue Dawn when dying fabrics, to stop them from bleeding. It did work. But I prefer the 5-6 color catchers. The way I see it, an entire box of color catchers is cheaper than having to remake a quilt. So I keep using them till they are off white.
