All this discussion about potato bags catching fire has convinced me. I will wash, leave very wet, place into a gallon ziploc bag and nuke. They are moist and good. I do seal the bag all the way, and it usually pops open. The post here to leave an opening of about one inch makes sense.

Hi,
I use cotton fabric (usually the one with potatoes as its cute for the project) and the warm tater batting, and cotton thread. No poly thread....
I use my potato bag all the time and I've not had any fires...my friend had hers start on fire...why? She used poly thread.
I have also made them with regular warm and natural batting with no issues.

Oh, I just spent yesterday making two pototo bags. Now I made sure I used 100% cotton material, muslin for the inside and 100% cotton batting. My only issue is, did I use 100% cotton thread? Didn't think of thread. I embrodieried on the front, here again, not sure, will have to go look, but 100% cotton thread, I don't think so. Oh gee, I washed it and everything. I may have to start all over!
