Per...Even if the thread did ran, I would finish it. Perhaps you should try to soak it in a bit warm water and use a color catcher thing once more? I got a tips about these variengated threads once, and that was to soak them in water before I use them, and add a little bit of vinegar with the water. Then just lay them on a towel to dry. The vinegar will set the colors and prevent it from bleeding again. I learned this from Gail Pan when she teached the class I attended here in Norway a while ago.<br />I love this stitchery, and got a lot of these threads to, they are really gorgeous! <br /><br />Thanks from the bottom of my heart for your time and long hours spent on the OPAM 2011. I'm thrilled to see I won in December! <br />Can't wait to join you in 2012 too, this is the little extra kick in tha butt that I need, and when we all are joining a challenge like this, we really have the right reasons to blog about our finishes :o) <br /><br />Have a great week, and big hugs to you :o)<br />LailaLitamora's Quilt & Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03723571749652650251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17596795928889674.post-68493439433580785502012-01-09T17:11:15.395+11:002012-01-09T17:11:15.395+11:00Bugger!
