    So I got a solid black fabric from fabric.com. I tested it in hot water and it bled profusely. I kept rinsing and rinsing it until it finally stopped bleeding. Does anyone know if it definitely will NOT bleed any more?

    Try setting the dye with a HOT iron, then try rinsing or soaking again.
    black and red are bad!
