Retayne
I have found the perfect fabric for a project I'm working on, except I can't stop it from bleeding. It is basically a red background. I wish I had used Retayne before I tried other methods of stopping the bleeding but I didn't. I tried soaking it in vinegar/water after soaking it many other times in plain water. Nothing stops the bleeding.
The instructions on the bottle of Retayne says "for best results, treat fabric with Retayne before washing it for the first time or placing it into your quilt." BTW I have had this bottle of Retayne for many a year and have never used it.
For those of you who have used Retayne, have you ever used it after washing the fabric ... does it stop the bleeding? What is the "long term" result ..... in other words, will the fabric bleed again?
My "inner quilter" says I better not use this fabric. But it is so perfect for my project! I'm bummed ..... help!
