Red Minky.. will I be sorry?
I am working on a quilt and I wanted to use Minky for the back. I usually avoid red because of the bleeding.. but it just seemed like the backing should be red. Has anyone here used red Minky? I will prewash, but other than that do you have any tips? Is one prewash enough? Should I wash this a few times before I put it into my project?

Thanks.. I did look at that link, however it does not call out washing/prewashing/bleeding. I will get some color catchers. I am encouraged that grammy of 6 did not have any problems. Thanks

I once used burgundy and yep I was sorry. BUT you are smart enough to prewash, so you should be ok
Jst keep washing until no more red comes out. My burgundy bled for about 10-15 washes! and pretty much ruined the quilt. Somehow it still get used for cuddling
