I look every time I am in a store- grocery, dollar, variety- none to be found in Quesnel, B.C. (I do have a stash of them because I bought all that safeway had when they were clearing them out a few years ago. Box of 50 for 7.50 -Zero brand, I think.)

I used to be able to buy the Shout Colour Catchers here in Ontario, but, about 6 months ago all the stores removed them from their shelves. I asked at WalMart, Independent, Zeller's and a couple of other places and was told the same thing each time...They have been recalled and will not be re-stocked. No-one seemed to know why though. Since I really like them and use them with every quilt and gave the quilt receipient a couple, I wanted them. Finally, had to order them from Amazon.com...bought a case(12 boxes), so that should last a little while.

Hi....i have a quilt at the quilters...and as soon as i get it back i want to wash it....now while i was piecing it i noticed that a particular red...which is throughout the quilt ...was bleading a bit....noticed when i sprayed a bit of water berfore ironing a particular stich...anyways....i did wash the fabric before i cut it up but i guess i didn`t do a good job...so now i `m scared if i wash my quilt that red will blead all over it. I have been searching for a color/dye catcher here in northern ontario but have seen no such product...is there such a product in Canada...does anyone know...when I search online i find different ones , but in the States. I will be travelling to Toronto next week and was wondering if anyone knew of something i could buy when i`m there...thank you for your help!!

There are some things that are always worth the price. And bleeding on a quilt you worked hard on is one of the prices you have to pay for color catchers to save that hard work. If it were $10.00 a box, I'd still pay it.
