I rinsed out a red batik -- gorgeous fabric. I used it in a miniature red/white quilt for a challenge, and I've now finished the top, complete with photos transferred into the spaces that I had decided to use for the purpose. I pressed the top -- and my iron spat. Now the red batik has run a little into the white. It's just enough that it's really visible, and I'm afraid to do anything else to the quilt top, for fear of making it worse.
Can someone tell me whether it's Retayne or Synthrapol that's supposed to take out extra color? Is there a better alternative? Do you think it's safe to do anything to this top before it's quilted and the edges secured in the binding?
Ideas? Help? Miracles? Should I give up, wash the batik again (I have to use this particular fabric for the challenge), and start over?
Thanks!
