True - I only cut a piece about 1/4 inch wide and an inch long.
I have my little "set-up" - a burning candle, a metal ash tray, a glass of water - in case some sparks get out of hand, my tweezers to hold the fabric into the flame, and a small scissors to cut the scrap off the fabric in question.
I do this in our cement laundry tubs - but a metal cake pan will also work to hold the things.
