It means that the color will transfer to other items...like when you are wearing new jeans and the color rubs off on your hands or worse your white fabric dining room chairs. I also had a red rub off on one of my sewing machine. This is why we wash new jeans separately..or maybe with the old ones to pump up the color!

makes me glad that I have a large stash the new fabrics are not as pretty and as collectable as they use to be and I wash everything I bring home just to be sure anyway until the pretty fabrics come back I have gotten into the reproductions so far they still seem to be pretty good

I have only just found out about this the hard way! Doing a charity quilt the backing was a cheap bright red duvet cover and it crocked! http://artisanssquare.com/sg/index.php?topic=12012.0
My new £1200 sewing machine now has a pink hue on the bed which won't come off. I must admit I haven't tried anything to harsh as I am worried about damaging the sheen of it, so beware of cheap fabrics, they crock!

See details of this item. I don't know what that means.
