I sure as heck hope there is an answer. Recently I used a red brown batik - purchased from a quilt store. At any rate, that batik would not keep running. I used a color catcher in the beginning and thought I was good to go. There were several smudges and runs on the lighter fabrics. I used same products as you and eventually threw it in the dryer and let it go. It is a gift and I'll explain what happened. Since the center is a panel of brown bears, the red brown smudges throughout the quilt aren't really "awful" but it clearly was not as intended. My girlfriend had a similar experience with a red batik - also purchased from a quilt store. Maybe someone has the answer!
