I only wash fabrics and quilts with Tide Coldwater liquid detergent and color catchers. I just use the washable Crayola markers, always washes out. Even pre washing all my fabrics just certain colors still bleed sometimes. I buy fabrics mainly from Hobby Lobby and Walmart and have very good results. I usually use 3 or 4 color catchers, using them until they start falling apart.

My mistake was not testing. I just assumed since everyone else had great luck, so would I.

The Hoffman bled when I applied steam. The other when I washed the quilt (with color catcher) the first time. I haven't rewashed the red quilt, but plan on using orvus and color catchers the second time around.
