Default Using polyester lining fabric for quilted Christmas stockings...

I recently bought plain red and green polyester for lining Christmas stockings. After I gave them both the burn test to be sure, I decided they are too dangerous in case of fire, and tossed them to the Goodwill bin...Now I wonder what the clever members on QB would think about that..
I hoped that it was cotton, until I did the test, to finish with a Hard lump in the sink..I have tested a lot of cotton this way, that burns down to ashes, to show me it is cotton.. Quite a difference in the burn test..
I just have a bad feeling about using on Christmas stockings. I would rather invest a bit more, and know the lining is cotton...as you would if this were used in a baby quilt.
Wonder what your opinion is about this project... Thanks...
