Margo OFFLINE Posts: 6522 Thank you received: 129	I've made lots of scrappy quilts using all kinds of fabrics. When you aren't sure if your fabrics have been washed or not, it's always a good idea to wash the finished quilt with Synthrapol and a couple of dye catcher sheets. Check here to learn about Synthrapol: http://www.dharmatrading.com/html/eng/2127-AA.shtml

I want to join in but my question is - is everyone washing their fabric first? I find that batiks do bleed. I always wash mine in Retayne so there are no surprises after the quilt is made.

We had a discussion in the beginning on this, and I got the feeling that most people were aware that batiks can still bleed off excess dye, even though they've gone through many manufacturers washes. So, I'm guessing most are washing. I did!

Also when I wash a quilt I throw in a dye catcher sheet in with it just in case. Teresa

I am looking forward to this exchange. Is anyone else still waiting on their triangle papers?

This statement was at the top of the online shopping area from Laundry Basket Quilts when I ordered last weekend -

"Thank you for shopping with us and please accept our apology for a slight delay in shipping your purchased items from Jan 28 - Feb 5."

I think with all the orders they got after the show aired on TQS they may be waiting for more stock to arrive to fill more orders.
