That '0dour' is a health hazard if you breath it in! That is if the fabric is of synthetic content, less so if it is a natural fiber like cotton or silk but all the same it is not recommended that you breath it in, burning in an enclosed space without ventilation would not be advisable.

Then went to the regular rack and got some nice stuff, VIP and Cranston for $2 a yard. I guess it doesn't say much for WalMart security, but I do have guardian angels that keep me out of trouble. Bottom line is, it's a great buy for clothing construction, but not a great deal for quilting.
