Do you keep rewashing your fabric if the Shout Sheets continue to have color on them?

cmeader,
It might take a lot of washings if you are not doing any thing to set the excess dye. I always use Synthropol. Lots of people also use Retayne. They are designed to remove or set
excess dye. I consider them a "must" for batiks. HelenW
Otherwise I would keep washing them. Depends how much dye you are getting on the Shout sheets.

If anyone has already done the prewashing for the 2021 BOM quilt did you have any problem with bleeding and if so which colors. I used a Shout Color Catcher with each load, separated by light and dark colors. No problems. If you haven’t watched the video about how minimize raveling when washing fabric, please do before you wash.
