Love those Color Catchers!

Your runner is wonderful. While I am new to the site, I have found that if there is a problem, a doubt, a twist of fate, excitement for a new machine, or pattern or what ever, there is someone here to pat you on the back, send you love, praise your work, make constructive suggestions for material treatments or what ever. That is so like people who care, and quilters, crafters, and warm people who care about others.
Nice site--I get may "fuzzy" fix by reading this site.

I am so happy for you. I honestly didn't think anything would work. I now have a pkg of catchers in my laundry room. This website is amazing! :lol:

Beautiful, I am glad you found some way to get the runs out.

re: soaking:
I tried to avoid further problems so I soaked only the row where each affected square was. I have a small plastic tub I use for soaking projects like free standing lace etc in. It worked great, I used a clothespin to hold the remainder of the runner out of the water.
It actually didn't look like it was going to work until I added a few drops of laundry detergent and swished it around.
Once it finally absorbed all of the dye color and looked normal again, I dumped out the water and color catcher sheets. Then I said a few 'Hail Mary's' and lots of prayers and put it in the washer with new color catcher sheets and put it on rinse and spin.
Voila` like nothing ever happened it all came out perfectly!
What a life saver!! I am now a believer in those color catcher sheets, BIG TIME!!
Thank you again everyone! You are FABULOUS!! :-D
