Okay, so I made my first color flow piece. I made the Harley Davidson Logo, it turned out great, but as it dried the black bled into the white and orange, the longer it sat the more it bled 
What could have happened? I did the outline first, let dry for a couple of hours like the directions said then I filled in. Help! I liked using color flow and would like to continue.
Any suggestions, helpful hints will be greatly appreicated.
I don't know, but I am curious too. I just started Wilton II and we will be doing color flow. I don't want any mishaps!
So here's a BUMP! 
I was hoping it was as simple as letting dry between colors.
So when you make a piece, quess you have to plan in advance due to the drying time, but if you don't have the leisure of 48 hours drying time 2 hours for outlines and 1 hour between colors, oh yeah and the filling in time, what is a quick way to get it to dry faster?
I've been doing color flow for years, and I teach for Wilton, but we never let the colors set til they dry. We do the whole piece at once and I've never had one run. The only things that I can think are that you might have the icing too runny, or the type of coloring you're using. I've done pieces as big as 8x10, like below, and did it all at once. I use Americolor or Wilton. When you make the icing runny, you should be able to drop some into the cup, and count to close to 10 before the drop has been completely absorbed back into the icing. Hope this helps!
Something I did......I just made several Nemo charachters. I outlined each different color and then flowed it in. You can still let them set up (the individual colors). I hope this might help. Color flow is time consuming but addictive! Lots of fun!
With dark outlines it is best to let them dry after doing the outlines, for several hours atleast, over night when you can.
I have made two different transfers, same design, same icing and the first I had time to let it dry and it did not bleed. Unfortunatly after I finished the last part of it I dropped the bag on top of it and messed it up. So I started over, this time nto having time to let the black outline really dry good before doing the rest of it, but morning it had already started to bleed on to the other parts.
You can speed up drying by placing it in an oven with just the light one. Be sure to put a sticky note on the knob so no one turns the oven on.
I always tell my students about the quick drying, but always remind them to do the piece as much in advance as they can, so you have plenty of time to let it dry.

Thanks for the drying tip.
