No. I've had a couple of tie-dye shirts for several years, and they never faded after not ironing them (I never ironed them, and I used cheap tie-dye spray from my local craft store.)

What dyes can be used to do tie dye?
For a colorfast tie dye a fiber reactive dye is needed such as Procion Dye from the Dharma Trading Company. Rit dye can be used but is not fiber reactive and not colorfast and the tie dye will fade colors after each wash.

What can you use to resist the dye soaking through?
I assume you're talking about tie dying. If you're worried about the dye soaking through from one side of the shirt to the other, you can place a piece of cardboard covered with plastic wrap between the front and back of the shirt. If you want an area that resists the dye, to that when you wash the dye out there are areas that have not been dyed, then you need to use a dye resist. There are many kinds, soy, wax, and water based. Water based is the easiest to use but you have to be careful to add dye a little at a time. Flooding the dye piece will wash the resist off too soon. Elmer's blue gel glue is a simple dye resist (make sure it dries for 24 hours before you dye) as are fabric paints (set them with heat before you dye). Also, you cannot soak something with water based dyes in a soda ash presoak. I soak my shirts and then let them dry and then add the water based dye resist. Hope that helps!
Do you need to wash your homemade tie dye shirts in vinegar after dyeing them?
Yes. The vinegar "sets" the color to prevent fading. Use a teaspoon of salt also. However, according to an article at http://www.pburch.net/dyeing/dyelog/B1063361308/C1605100905/E20080723120359/ vinegar is not recommended where the tie dye shirt is cotton.
