How much cotton cloth will this fix? Is it enough for a single bed sized Duvet cover and pillowcase?

Yes, you get 1 lb I think, I usually make up approx 1 gallon/12 litres with this much and it covers that much fabric

Would this solution make permanent an image printed onto fabric & could that fabric be washed?

Unsure, if using fiber reactive dyes then yes, otherwise I don’t know

Can you put it in the washing machine?

Fabric needs a longer soak than a washing machine would give.

Got me out of a hole!

Not being used to a new tie-dye kit, I used all the Soda ash in the kit before wanting to do some extra dyeing. Amazon to the rescue ones again and I managed to sort out some pretty nifty dye jobs using this stuff. Simple to use, and well worth the price.
