Good Luck.

I have heard that white vinegar also works to set dyes. I would assume a small amount mixed in a basin of water would do the trick.<br />
<br />
I remember as a kid dying Easter egss in food color then placing them in vinegar to set the color.<br />
<br />
Salt makes sense too.

Well....it's not bleeding as much as it was...but the color is still running a bit. I'm going to try going to the grocery on my home from work tomorrow and picking up some of the dye suggestions like dylon or color run remover. I'll have to let you know!! *fingers crossed*

omg.. I have that book.. never thought to look! I know of a product called dylon.. but I thought it was for removing dye from a garment that had taken on foreign dye. eg. if you put your white socks in your green washer and they turn green.. then dylon is the stuff. But maybe still worth looking for and reading the packet. (we can get it here in the laundry aisle... assume you'll have it too.)

You are my new best friend. I'm going to try the salt treatment again tomorrow, but if that fails, I am definitely heading to the grocery and checking out the laundry aisle! Thank you so very much for the tip - it gives me hope!

I have no idea what is wrong with this fabric! It is obviously store bought (the selvage lists the date as 1994!) and it still has all this color! I like color but oh gee whiz....I'm doing some more salt treatments tomorrow! Thanks for the help :)

Thank you Amanda! As soon as I read "no hot water," I ran into the bathroom and dumped the basin out and replaced it with cold water! Whew! I'm going to do two more rounds of hand washing tomorrow hopefully - I'll let you know how it goes :) thanks for the tips!

Hi ladies! Thank you so much for responding! I let the fabric soak in a basin full of water and salt to set the fabric...and it has stopped running as much as it was. Maybe I'm getting down to the last little bit of dye? I am going to try again tomorrow with the hand washing (my boyfriend doesn't want salt poured right into the machine...which I understand but it means more work on my end).
