Hello, and welcome from Idaho!
I don't know why some catch on fire, I have used mine many, many times and have never had a problem.

I made some many years ago and used them quite often in a 1000 w microwave and never had any problems with it-even used poly batting in it. There is new batting out there specifically for baking the potatoes in. I would use that, now.

Welcome. Your bag was probably made with batting that has scrim in it. It really needs the potato bag batting

I made them from all cotton fabric, batting, and thread. No problems and we use ours at least once a week - love them. Oh, make sure that there is NO metallic thread or design on the fabric.
