Loved all the commentary from viewers! I always, always color set my fabric with a solution of 1/2 cup vinegar and 1/4 cup table salt added to enough warm water to just cover the fabric, like colors with like colors. Prior to placing the freshly boughten or chosen fabrics in the color set water, I always, always serge the cut ends of each piece!! I also then baste those serged ends together so that when I am done with the color setting, pre-washing and drying of the fabric, I can better judge how much shrinkage each piece really had!

I've found that the color catchers can be used more than once. If they aren't exceptionally dark, I have put them through another load and had results as good as a new sheet. Nice way to save some money as well. Love this great product!

I agree it works great!

Hooray for the "Color Catcher" product, it's fantastic.

I use this product everytime I wash quilt fabic and find it does an excellent job.

Daughter brought me a flannel quilt with very bright blocks and white background to machine quilt. I grabbed a color catcher for her to include with the gift.

I always prewash new fabric unless it is a kit. It never goes to the sewing room until it is washed and dried. Every fabric shrinks and bleeds at a different rate. I use salt water or vinegar. to set the color. Better to be safe than sorry (that has happened to me). Especially reds and some navy blues. When washing a completed kit I will try the Color Catchers.

Color Catchers are absolutely awesome. They have come to my rescue more than once. I don't usually prewash either, but if I do I find I can wash all colors and shades of F/Q's together in the same load as long as I use these miraculous little helpers.

I had never heard of this product but will be sure to put it in my "stash"!
