I totally forgot about that little technique, though im sure they wouldn't appreciate me burning it at that store. LOL I wash all my fabrics before they go into my stash. I prefer they shrink, fade, bleed or whatever before I sew. This stuff is really thin and you can see through it. The weave doesn't seem to be very tight either.
