Re: Used Color Catchers for the first time
First of all....Love love LOVE this quilt! The back is awesome! I really need to try this pattern. Secondly, I've also used the color catchers. My daughter thinks it's a gimmick, I am a TRUE believer since I've had the same thing happen - color catcher comes out with dark dye and the quilt is fine. PHEW! I don't have an answer for your prewash question (sorry), but really wanted to love on your quilt some! Nice job!

Re: Used Color Catchers for the first time
Very beautiful quilt. I will be buying some color catchers the next trip to the store. I really need to use them when I wash my Texas wall hanging with it's red, white and blue fabric.

Re: Used Color Catchers for the first time
River mom, I love your quilt! What a great idea to put dark brown on the back. Unfortunately can't find color catchers where i live in canada but managed to grab some in the US.. I was able to find here a small bottle of a clear liquid called "retayne " " which my locsl quilt shop sells and they say works... Has anyone ever used it? Happy Thursday everyone!
