Some time ago there were some hints for getting dye to set. Anyone remember them? I have a beautiful rayon/poly that is still bleeding after three washings.

Vicki I dont know if this tip will help now since you washed it a few times already,but one is wash in cold water by hand and drip dry,some folks use to say add a teaspoon of vinegar/salt to the water to set colours.I always test fabric before washing damp cloth and rub gently on the fabric, then look to see if it will run or not,then gentle washing by hand,if required.
