I got the sewing machine, that I used for the project, out today. I think it may have had a prewound bobbin on it... do you think that could have caused my bags to burn?? I could not find anything on the package of prewound bobbins to indicate what kind of thread is on them. I really like those bobbins. What do think of using them for quilting? I use them for embroidery.
I use the pre wound bobbins all the time for all my sewing needs. I have used them on the microwave bags that you fill with either corn or rice to heat and use on sore muscles and I have never had any problems with them in the microwave so I don't think the bobbin was the problem. I use both cotton and poly bobbins.

Wrote to the Keepsake Quilting president. He responded that I was the only one that had a problem. Everyone I made burned. Did you include anyway for your customers to get in touch with you? I tried the first one I made before sending the others to friends. It was only after the 2nd use it burnded - interesting. . .

Could it be that they were simply left in the microwave too long??I read that they should not be left for more than I think it was three minutes at a time and then allowed to cool and then put back in for additional time if needed. Don't know how true it is.

Maybe, the directions did not say 3 it was 5 mins. I still have a new pkg. of "warm tater batting" I will try it again with cotton bobbin to make sure. Of course this will have to be when DH is not around. He would be very upset if I had another burn in the micro, I'll keep you posted.
