on yesterday's post I showed one of my mini quilts that I'd put in water and the red from one of the fabrics had run.
Well, I found Dylon Colour Run Remover at the supermarket and soaked the mini in that and voila - no more red where it shouldn't be !
kind of makes me wonder what is in it that it can remove red dye from white fabric ! but it restored my mini so I'm very happy - no unpicking - yay
thanks so much for your comments and suggestions on getting rid of the dye - I'll definately be using colour catcher next time I put any of my quilts in water - even if they don't have red in them - better to be safe than sorry:)

So happy you found a product that worked for you. Too pretty a piece to take apart - especially tiny pieces - they tend to loose their shape then.
ReplyDeleteYay, glad it all worked out OK.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of the product before, but it sounds like a great one to have on hand.
ReplyDeleteWow, that stuff is awesome. I have a Christmas Quilt that turned pink because of red fabric! Your mini is beautiful, I love chevrons these days.
ReplyDeletePhew! I love your mini and I'm so glad you could rescue it!
ReplyDeleteGreat news. I'm going to get some of that myself, just in case.
ReplyDeleteI have also heard that salt in the water helps to stop colours running but I am very glad you found something as your mini quilt is lovely. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBest news! It is back to pure gorgeousness now!
