color catcher
#15
I never wash my fabrics, and never had a problem with running colors...If the colors are intense in the quilt top I just throw in a extra color catcher...they really do work.... :thumbup:

This is just what I needed to read! I am working on the Songahm Star quilt. I have never used solid colors before in a quilt and was afraid of them bleeding. I will remember to use Shout when I'm finished with it.
Thanks a bunch.

They are great!!! I would recommend washing your fabs in cold water though. The owner of a quilt shop said..."why do you want to prewash fabrics in hot water, when you aren't going to wash in hot water after the quilt is made?" I certainly agree with that.
Last year I purchased the Gallery in Red quilt and washed all the fabrics together with a color catcher...voila, no running of colors. Yes, all the fabrics were reads and whites lol. I figured that would surely put them to the test lol.
