If you stitch a line of crosses on a piece of waste fabric first, and dab it with a damp tissue, you can check for "bleeding" before you start your precious work. If any colour comes off on your tissue, think again. I know someone who, with strong colours, puts the skein of thread on a stitch bow and swills it in hot water, checking for dye loss. If you only buy DMC or Coats/ Anchor, they are said to be colourfast up to near boiling. Never tried THAT, myself! Any painted or overdyed threads need careful consideration. |
