Janice Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 This is the quilt Shadow of A Bearpaw that I soaked and the red faded onto the white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat C Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Is this the quilt after you got the red out? I don't see where the red bled unless I'm missing something. It's a beautiful quilt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janice Posted December 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 The pictures are before laundering. There is quite a lot of red in one of the white corners then just a few small spots here & there. I will soak it with Synthrapol tomorrow and , hopefully, not forget it and the red will be gone.

CrazyAboutQuilting Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Beautiful quilt and quilting! Hopefully the syntrapol will remove all traces of the red. It worked for me early last spring when I had a terrible mess with a batik quilt. I had to run it through my washer two times with synthrapol and color catchers but it came out beautifully. Good luck! Your quilt is just gorgeous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie H Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Beautiful quilt! I just love the colors and the design!! I had a deep deep red in my stash that I prewashed when I purchased it. I went to use it the other day and noticed that the selvage edge turned pink with the first washing so I washed it again. Still pink and bleeding. I put it in the wash again with Synthropol and it took all the pink out of the white selvage and the red didn't bleed anymore. Thank goodness for Synthropol.
