I love Warm and White cotton and Warm and Natural. You don't have to quilt as closely and it needles beautifully. I've never had any kind of problem with it. It's more expensive but well worth the price.

Loretta, ignore my question above - just seen your lovely Valentine's quilt on your other post!

purplemem, they have the warm and natural on the site I usually get my batting from so maybe I'll try that next!

Thanks,

I was just talking with an employee, today, at the local LQS about flame retardent cloth and she made the same comment Patrice made about a fire in the bedroom being a bigger issue. She also noted that we ourselves are not flame retardent, so even if the cloth was flame retardent, our faces, feet and hands would be burning so it wouldn't exactly be that useful. I thought that was a good point as well.

I think a working smoke detector in every room of the house, we have eight, is more effective than flame retardent clothing or bedding.

just my two cents, Maribeth

Just a note here.....yucky subject, sorry.

Even though the gov't would love to have every child snuggly wrapped in flame-retardant clothing, most of it is polyester, which MELTS right to your SKIN, causing severe burns.

I believe that the US Navy is now encouraging their pilots to wear COTTON underwear to keep skin burns to a minimum in case of an accidental fire.
