Good morning to all,
I hope everyone is getting their pre-holiday projects done and getting a chance to relax and enjoy the holidays. When you get a chance to reply...I am hoping someone knows how to remove thread bleeding from a quilted table runner. I used a 100% cotton thread that was sent to me either for free or part of a promotion because it was the "right color and it was sitting in my thread box" to quilt a table runner and now I see it is bleeding in certain areas of the table runner. This is the first time I have ever seen this. I usually use Aurifil or Isacord to quilt a project, but this time I got lazy. Color is gray and it's bleeding on a white background ...Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance for any suggestions,
Happy Holidays to All,
Rossana

Not sure where you are in the world but here in the uk we can buy something called colour run, it’s similar to colour catcher which you can put in the wash and it catches colour in the water before it stain, the colour run is supposed to remove the colour
run.

Not sure if the ‘color catcher’ sheets would pull out the color at this point, but worth a try. The ‘bleach pens’ might help on the white but you’d need to be very careful not to let any get on the colored areas.

They do a similar product to colour catcher, but to pull out a colour run. Google colour run and see what it brings up.

Thank you for the suggestions, I will try the pen and I googled Colour Run and there is a product for this issue! Had no idea. Thanks!
I tried the color catcher sheets a few weeks ago and they did not work. I usually sit my glass of ice tea on the table runner to catch condensation, and that is
the area where the color bleeding happened, so weird.
Thanks again and have a great Holiday!
I'll let you know if it works.

I would be careful with bleach use as well. Unless you stop the bleach with a dechlorination product, it will keep working, and eventually weaken the fabric. One product is sold with fish tank supplies. Others available from dye houses, such as Pro Chemical and Dharma Trading.

Vicki Welsh wrote a blog post about removing the bleed. Google "Save My Bleeding Quilt." I have not had good luck with color run remover. Test first on scraps, preferably of the same fabrics. The time I used it, the fabric color was also removed.
