Re: Microwave bowl thingys - I want to cry!
If you haven`t unpicked them yet. Make them, add a few ribbons and fill will some pretty containers of bath salts/cotton buds,little hand soaps for Christmas presents. ( Hope the print did not have veggies or fruit on it) If they go in the bathroom, no one would even think to use in kitchen.
Re: Microwave bowl thingys - I want to cry!
I did the same thing using warm and natural. So now they are just bowl holders on the table when the bowl is hot so it can be passed around easily! I ordered a microwave safe batting from Nancys notions to start over again. When I get it I'll post a pic!!
Re: Microwave bowl thingys - I want to cry!
No unpicking going to be done! I my least fav part of sewing when it's absolutely necessary. This is optional, so no way!! The fabric - it has cupcakes all over it!! So definitely a kitchen theme. Oh well, I learned a lot on this project. I'm just thankful that it crossed my mind to check the thread! Can you imagine how bad I would've felt to give them as a Christmas present, then have them catch fire!!
Re: Microwave bowl thingys - I want to cry!
Wait...I made a potato baker pouch and I used coats and clarks thread. I am sure it has some poly in it. Nothing bad happened...and I have used it a lot. If you quilted the bowl, it might have a lot more thread in it, but don't think it would be a problem.
Re: Microwave bowl thingys - I want to cry!
I made the potato bag also with warm and and natural before someone mentioned it wasnt actually all cotton. I had already used it twice without a problem. I must of got lucky too.
