Fabric with metallic designs
This may be a question that has been asked an answered on the board; if so, I apologize.
Is there any actual metal in the metallic print on fabrics?
Thanks for your help.

Ha! There can be. How do I know? Well, I set off the security alarm going through a TSA checkpoint at the airport because of my sweater that was made with metallic yarn. Had to submit to a full pat-down. Very unsettling. I won't make that mistake again.

ha, ha. didn't know that. my sister took off her strapless bra due to those alarms! I wondered about the metallic prints i used in a quilt doing all right in the dryer. I gave it away so never knew.

I can guarantee the gold and silver metallics on the Hoffmans, etc, wash away with time. I have many quilts with them in it. Whether it would set off airport alarms I can't say, but it is just paint, not real metal like in sweater embellishments.
