Don't you just love Shout. The first strip was first wash, second strip next wash. My red is now good to go. LOL[ATTACH=CONFIG]331159[/ATTACH]

They are good, I never lose that much color from my fabrics.

Glenda m 04-27-2012 04:28 PM

And this is a 'name' brand fabric, too. Go figure(?)

i hope the second one is not where you stopped- should wash until the color catcher comes out with no more color- if you are still getting that much color it is not done yet-
i had a green recently that i re-washed 5 times before i finally had my color catcher come out clear/white. had i stopped after 2 washes i would have had green tinged whites all through my quilt.

But your red is no longer red.

I would have trouble trusting that fabric.

I thought at first that those were pictures of the fabric before and after. LOL

I had that happen to a red I bought at the quilt shop and paid $10.99 a yard for. Fortunately, I only bought 1 yard. I didn't bother to take it back...........I was too disgusted and upset to make the trip!
