Have any of you tried the Connecting Threads batiks? They're less
expensive by far than most sites and look quite nice. But how do they feel and how do they hold up to handling/washing/stitching? I'd appreciate any input. Sunny

I haven't, Sunny, but do have a care if you try any. Lately, I've had 2
batiks that will never Ever quit bleeding. Polly "Sunny" wrote in message ... Have any of you tried the Connecting Threads batiks? They're less expensive by far than most sites and look quite nice.

That doesn't sound right. We subscribe to the school that washes
fabrics before quilting, partly to find out their bleeding characteristics & potential. Isn't there some product or household chemical that can be added to set the dyes better so they won't bleed?

Vinegar! Works for me. Just add in the wash with whatever soap. If it
bleeds bad I may put more in the rinse cycle and do a second wash. Joanna On 10/5/2010 2:33 PM, Dr. Zachary Smith wrote: That doesn't sound right.
