I have ironed and cut some beautiful Asian fabrics from my stash for the microwave bowl warmers. My question is; with the metallic print will there be problems in the microwave? I am using the recommended Warm Tater Batting and plan to make and use one in the microwave for five minutes for a test. Does anyone have experience with this?

I don't but will watch this post for answers :)

Put a cup of water in the microwave with a piece of the fabric and see what it would do.
|
can you test a piece of the fabric alone in the microwave?

My first thought was not to use metallic as it is metal and an electricity conductor so I searched and here I found 3 articles

There's a difference between metallic THREADS in fabric and metallic LOOKING fabric. What looks like gold, etc could just be the screen print that LOOKS like metal. I suggest you try a piece of ANY fabric in the microwave before using for a potato bag. JMHO

I know you say try the fabric - but what is the outcome you want? I mean what is the outcome if it doesnt work?
|
Or what if it blows up the microwave.....hmmmmmm

Put one in and see what it does. A lot of that fabric paint doesn't really have metal in it.
