Has there been any reports of embroidery floss color "bleeding" once the design is rinsed in warm water? I use Cosmo floss.

Hi, I didn't have any problems and just used regular embroidery floss from Walmart!.

I haven't had any problems with colors bleeding or lighter parts looking off yet! If it's a new article of clothing with those features, I'd check to see if it needs a 2nd rinse if the dye is really saturated in the dark fabric.

As stated by others, I had this same result. I used a gentle swab and cleaned the contact points and reset the ribbon and no issues since.

I have washed mine many times in residential and commercial machines and have had no problems with shrinking or bleeding. As a precaution I did wash it with only dark colors on the first wash.

I didn't have any issues. Could be due to local temps/humidity. Rinse with warm water to clear it.

Not a stupid question at all. However, while this is a nice package of embroidery floss, my one complaint is it tangles fairly easily. It is not as smooth as some other flosses I have used in the past, so I wouldn't recommend machine embroidery with this particular brand. Although if you take care, it's a great, beautifully colored floss for hand embroidery.

I've done hundreds of records with no label damage. You get an very occasional drip across the label but it's over 99% distilled water (you *are* using distilled water, right?) so you can blot it right off with no worries.

I rinsed and cleaned my infants Sophie toy last night and left overnight to dry. What I discovered on the counter this am were brownish imprints of the four feet. I am very worried now about giving this to my baby. How do I know if this paint is not toxic??

I agree those worked well for me too. I found the trick is to add less polish to the water and try to make the colors swirl together without using a toothpick because they come out prettier. Also use warm water!! Good luck :)

I wipe the plastic parts with water & a soft cloth. I have detached the strap & hand washed that separately. Not at any time has anything discolored or has color come off. If you're having issues contact Timex. This is my second product (the first lasted forever & I only replaced it because I lost it in a move). I had an issue after a few years with the sensor not working and Timex replaced the part without hesitation. Good luck!

It bled in the wash and while on my child. We did not however have this issue with any other color. Great experience overall but I would wash the two red bibs several times prior to wearing.

I have the orange, the blue, the lime and the other green one, none of them have bleed so maybe it's the way they washed them, I haven't had any trouble at all

I've had mine since the beginning of December and love them! So far no issues. I use pinsol in one, peroxide and dawn detergent mixture in another, and vinegar in the third one. I hope this helps!

My set is fairly new, so no, it hasn't rubbed off. I know putting things in the dishwasher can eventually erode lettering, it has happened to my plastic measuring cups. With these spoons, I actually hand wash them and put them back up on my magnet strip. Just a thought, could you apply clear polish over the lettering perhaps, and maybe take to hand washing them if you don't already? Good luck!

I have not had this problem, but I hand wash the bottle. I have been using it about 5 times per week for about a month and none of the design has worn off of mine.

Did you run them thru the dishwasher? Can't do that, wash them with a soapy scrub pad that will take the excess tarnish off but handels will remain discolored. Sorry
