Has anyone ever used this testing method?

Or is there another way to check to see if you have 100% cotton?

I have used the burn test a few times.

I've used it often, and it does work.

Great to know!! I had a few pieces I wasn't sure about.

If I ever have a question about a fabric content, I always to the burn test.

It really is the best method. Just remember to do it over the kitchen sink with water at the ready!
