I can't imagine having a plastic in them. When you use them for corn or potatoes you wash it first ( do not dry) and wrap each piece in a wet but squeezed out paper towel. And you have a warm damp paper towel to wipe your hands on. LOL

I made a tatter bag. There was thread on it about 3 months ago. Look under topics. There is a tutorial listed. Real easy to make.

I'm new to this room and could not find a tutorial for the tater sacks. Could I be looking in the wrong place? Truthfully, I didn't know that it was there. Looks like some interesting info. Thanks.

I found this web site in the topic log. It was mentioned back in '08. This would explain why you have not read about it. I used 100% cotton batting. It is just a small pillow case with an over flap basically. Enjoy. By the way it does work. Katrina |

Not as pretty but works fine.
I think I may just make cotton bags without any batting in them for tater bags :D:D:D |

Hi All!
Warm Tater cotton batting was originally made specifically for making microwave potato bags. It's versatility is beyond making potato bags! Warm Tater is non-chemically treated. Not only is it good for potato bag makers, it is wonderful for making a quilt in a day. I've used it for making Kaye Wood's Six Hour Quilt. It's a full 6oz loft - approximately 1/3" thick. No quilting is required. If you're into making charity quilts that require 100% cotton, this is a great, economical resource for you. According to sources at the Warm Company, the anticipated release date was the end of June. Due to the lack of packaging, it did not start shipping until on or about Friday, August 6th of this year.

No pun intended, but this is selling like hot cakes or hot potatoes! It is now available for shipment. You can buy online with shipping include at: http://www.wholesalequiltbatting.com/warm_tater.htm I am very excited about this batting, (as you can see). Quilters Dream offers a similar cotton batting. As a quilt batting seller, I am more impressed with the Warm Company's decision to produce a better product. I'm sure you'll agree.

I found this at the Walmart store nearby that has the fabric dept. I bought the whole bolt. It feels wonderful.
I did some research and if batting does not say does not have scrim, it does. It is such a small amount of poly for scrim it doesn't have to be listed as contents. |

Just a quick FYI:
Unlike other "100%" cotton batts that have a scrim, Warm Tater Batting, Quilters Dream Cotton Batting and Bosal Organic Cotton Batting do not have a scrim. This is what I do for a living. It is my responsibility to make sure that any information I write, or give orally is 100% accurate. Before writing this article, I made sure I checked with the, "horses mouth", so to speak to make sure what I advise is truly accurate. Another good thing to remember! Warm Tater Cotton Batting is also recyclable and best of all, Made in the USA! More information can be at: http://www.wholesalequiltbatting.com/warm_tater.htm Feel free to contact me with any questions!
