Found some information on Warm and Natural that I believe will help to explain the batting difference;

http://www.warmcompany.com/wnpage.html

Down in the question and answer section one of the the makers of Warm and Natural provided this answer:

Is warm and natural 100% cotton or is it 80-20?


- "Thank you for your question! Warm & Natural is 87.5% cotton fibers and 12.5% Polypropylene scrim. Warm & Natural is made with 100% USA Grown High grade cotton fibers. The cotton fibers are then needlepunched through a extremely thin stabilizer made of polypropylene, which is a polyester fiber. This stabilizer makes Warm & Natural strong and durable!"

These resins are what may catch fire in the microwave.

Congratulations on making your Microwave Fabric Bowl. We are all anxious to see your photo's if you are able to post them. I knew you could do it!!

I went to order some micro batting and read the reviews. It seemed they were more negative that positive. So, I wrote to Warm Company to ask them about using Warm & Plush in microwave bowls and items that would be used in the microwave. I will post their reply when I hear back from them.

Sulabug, I hope this is ok in this thread. Please let me know if it is not.

Here are my latest. I have a co-worker with a birthday in July, so I made her a gift of my favorite things. Microwave bowl with some of my favorite small items in it. I think she will like it.
