This is why I sell so many bottles of Retayne! Apparently your dye on that fabric was not set good..if at all...

After the wash, the color catchers were almost a dark red. My quilt was saved! I guess it might be a good idea to add them to every quilt wash, even though the fabric has been washed. I need to buy another box!

That must have made you feel awful. :shock: |

Do you wash czharm packs in garment bags? But do you have to wash each type of fabric in a separate wash? Oy...
