How can you tell if thread is cotton or polyester? I saw on here where you can burn fabric and tell. Does this also work with thread?

Thanks! :-)

if you burn cotton, it will flame and turn to ash. Poly will burn and melt like plastic. Same thing with fabric.

yes, same thing with thread.

Thanks I never knew it worked with thread also :thumbup:

Never knew about the thread.

Great tip, I learn something new every day on this board! :D

Thanks!! I'll give it a go.

I didn't know that about the thread, but it makes sense. Thanks for the tip.

thanks never knew you could test the thread, thanks, I always learn something every day on this board
