Those color catchers do wonders! So happy for you. After all that work it's disheartening to have that happen.

It is very pretty. I am glad you got all the dye out. I know it makes you sick.

SUCCESS....... SUCCESS....... SUCCESS......
After quite a few hours of soaking the affected areas with dye catcher sheets and then washing it; I finally was able to get all traces of the dye running removed from my table runner!! I breathed a HUGE sigh of relief when I saw all color runs had been removed! WOOHOO!! :-D :-D :-D
THANK YOU to ALL who so kindly answered my posting and suggested the color catcher cloths. And also for the pats on the back and the 'oh poor baby' sentiments! ;)
Thank you again SEW very much for your fabulous suggestions!!
I am posting new photos of my runner that looks so much better now.... except it's a bit wrinkled.. Sorry to post 3 photos it's just so long I can't get it into one shot!!

Now a question - Did you soak the entire runner using the color catcher sheets or just the portions where the dye ran? I had dye to run on a queen size quilt, but not all over and I am still trying everything I know to get that out.
