quiltmonkey Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 Ok I’m being overly dramatic. I dabbled dampened paper towel of water on small area to close up some quilting stitches I ripped out ( done this many times- great results and never problems) but this time loose pink dye came out and bled. About 4” size area. What’s the easiest solution to get this out? I don’t want to wash entire quilt. Can I just work this small area? Advice and solutions to get dye out? Here’s photos of the finished quilt. After quilting blocks I decided to quilt flowers inside and then got a wild hair and decided to paint all of the flowers using Tsukineko fabric pens... had a blast—Fun project!

Gail O Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 Can't think of anything other than trying a laundry stain remover (maybe a bit of dissolved oxyclean?) and a very soft tooth brush. Beautiful quilt, quilting and painting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaC Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 Shana, remember this article by Vicki Welsch. https://www.colorwaysbyvicki.com/save-my-bleeding-quilt.html. Lisa E and I were just talking about this. She just had the same problem. Your quilt is stunning and I llove, love love your flowers! Basket quilts are one of my favorites. Keep us posted.

lisae Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 Haha I just went to send the link and Lisa C beat me to it! Dawn dish soap is the answer but I don't know if you can just do one spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilta93 Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Your quilt and quilting are beautiful! I remember someone having a problem with and used synthropol. I did a search and it happened to Vicki M., and it was a crayon colored quilt, so don’t know if it will help you. Here’s the link. Click on the date.

tootsquilts Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Shana, can't see your bleed in the pictures, and I don't have any advice for that, but looks like the others has solved it for you. I just wanted to say how very beautiful your quilt is. I love it and the quilting you did is beautiful also. Wish you lots of luck on getting out the stains.
