Mike, In about 6 yrs of doing embroidery I have only had one instance of a poly thread bleeding. It was on white lab coats with navy thread that had been sent to a Chinese laundry. The lab coats were washed with very hot water and chlorine bleach then left over night in the machine while wet. I told the Drs. office to have the laundry rewash them in warm water to not let it sit and it removed all of the excess color from the lab coats.
