Just wondering if anyone has an easy way to tell if a fabric is 100% cotton? When I get fabrics from yard sales, as gifts, etc. I don't know how to tell whether or not it is "all cotton" other than just guessing! I'm figuring that there's a more reliable way to do it-any suggestions?
Thanks- Audrina

Hey Audrina,

Here's a link to read about doing the "burn test" to determine fiber content.

Hope this helps,

Stephanie
