Can someone tell me where I can buy Retayne. Several say that I should soak my batiks in it. Certainly don't want to take any chances. Thanks ladies.

Most LQS carry it you can buy it online too. :D:D:D
|
Your LQS should have it or you can order it online. Not sure if JoAnn's will have it.
|
That was fast. I will try Joann's soon. Won't be tomorrow. I'm smarter than that (I think). Cyber Monday, you know. LOL Many thanks again.
|
I had to get it on Amazon.
|
Would some one explain Retayne and how to use it and what it is for? Thanks

or try www.dharmatradingco.com
retayne keeps the colors sharp in your fabrics, then another product synthropol helps lift out excess colors that could ruin your quilt in the wash. |
I thought Retayne was used for setting the color so it wouldn't bleed. Now I'm a bit confused. Please explain.

And just FYI, here is some information about Synthrapol http://www.pburch.net/dyeing/FAQ/fixative.shtml For batiks and other dark fabrics, I tend to soak them in warm water for a while and see if they bleed, I also rub them while wet with a piece of muslin, if they I don't see any color bleeding in the water or muslin, I just wash them like normal, if I see color bleed, I wash them in Retayne following the instructions on the bottle. I hope this helps. |
