Baking soda will not work with most dyes. It has the opposite effect, it makes the dye less reactive. For all you wanted to know about dye, see the website I have provided.
In the article you will see the words sodium bicarbonate used instead of baking soda. It is the chemical name for baking soda. Also note, baking soda (bicarbonate of soda is another name for it) is NOT the same as baking powder.

What does resist mean in Batik?
In batik, resist is the wax/beeswax/parrafin you use to keep the dye OFF the piece of fabric. Example: You want to dye a white piece of fabric "green" and leave a white heart on it. You would paint a heart onto the fabric with wax, allow it to dry, dip the fabric in green dye, allow it to dry, remove the wax. At this point, the fabric would be completely green EXCEPT where the wax was. The wax coated the fabric in a heart-shape and caused that heart-shaped section to RESIST being dyed.
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!
What household items put out fire the fastest?

However, the choice of substitute may depend on the specific dye and fabric being used.
