Problem with faded fabric after first wash!
I recently had to wash a quilt that I made a year or so ago. I was horrified when I got it out of the dryer! The bright red became faded, almost like a faded denim look only in red. I was told that if I had added vinegar to the wash that that would have prevented what happened. It did not bleed, as the cream colored backing was fine. I am concerned as I am making a new quilt for my daughter and some of that fabric is in this quilt also. I don't want to have to replace that fabric but it would ruin the quilt for that red to become faded. Should I tell her to be sure and wash with vinegar? How much in a wash? Is this fool proof? Thanks
