Let's talk about red
Thinking buying some fabric will cheer me up, I realized the red bin is
mostly not true red or just leftovers. There's deep, dark red, dull gray red (that one actually is useful in the strangest places), orange red, leaning toward pink red and, of course, some that have a sort of blue-ish flavor. IF you were shopping online, what would be the best word for just pure, true red? There's crimson, and Christmas and just all manner of red names. Wonder which one would work for my shopping? Polly |

Polly, I think the best red for you is the one (ones) in your cart. Me?

If you're shopping blue, look at the one named blue jay. Awesome! Can't
decide whether to use it or just sit here and pat it. Polly "Nana.Wilson" wrote in message ... Polly, I think the best red for you is the one (ones) in your cart. Me? I'm gonna get me some more blue!

Is there any way to find reds that won't run like crazy?

I've only had one to run. (Say that 3 times real fast.) It was a glorious
red batik. Probably I've been very lucky. Polly "Taria" wrote in message ... Is there any way to find reds that won't run like crazy? Taria "Polly Esther" wrote in message ...

Let's talk about red
The owner of my LQS where I used to live explained to me that due to the
way red is made, red bleeds into wash water and this is to be expected. However, the extra dye is not supposed to stick to anything else. So the questions is how can one see which reds have not been treated right to ensure that the run doesn't stick to other colours. I guess the answer is you can't :-( Hanne in DK Den 07-11-2012 19:56, Taria skrev: Is there any way to find reds that won't run like crazy? Taria "Polly Esther" wrote in message ...

Let's talk about red
I did see one called 'lipstick' - one of the Moda marbles I think? It
was quite a nice red - on the orange side of the range of red I think? It wasn't quite what I had thought it would be, and not right for my project, so I had to get another. 'Cardinal' might also be a good name? Have fun. .. In message , Polly Esther writes Thinking buying some fabric will cheer me up, I realized the red bin is mostly not true red or just leftovers.

Thanks, Pat. That word worked. I found a really pretty true red described
as lipstick. Polly "Pat S" wrote in message ... I did see one called 'lipstick' - one of the Moda marbles I think? It was quite a nice red - on the orange side of the range of red I think?

Polly, it has been a long day. I really expected someone to make
a joke about catching the red fabric (since it was running) Nobody seems to have a sense of humor today for some reason. Taria "Polly Esther" wrote in message ... I've only had one to run.

No, not a good day for humor. Some of us are celebrating, some struggling to
be gracious, some devastated. Life goes on. Polly "Taria" wrote Polly, it has been a long day. I really expected someone to make a joke about catching the red fabric (since it was running) Nobody seems to have a sense of humor today for some reason. Taria |
