Quilters live in horror of the possibility of pulling your beautiful quilt out of the washer and finding that one of the fabrics bled all over. May it never happen to you but if it does, you may be able to save your quilt from becoming a permanent disaster.
Colorways By Vicky Welsh has an excellent guide for treating dye bleed and reducing or removing the fabric. You can find an excellent explanation with illustrative photos of Vicky’s methods and a downloadable set of step by step instructions.
