Problem is, I can never remember what fabric burns in what way. We need a cheat sheet to keep in our sewing rooms.

I like to think I can detect silk easily as I have been told it smells like burning hair. Cotton burns to ash. Synthetics melt. Easy, right? The hard part is the blends and I have not yet ever taken a warp and weft thread to burn separately. With my hot flashes, all I have to do is put it on and I can tell if its synthetic!! This program sounds fantastic and something I would love to do. Do you have to have fashion school training to do this program? If I had my life to live over, and of course knew what I know now, I would have gone to Phila. Textile or some other textile and design school. I wish you all the very best in this endeavor and can hardly wait to read follow-up posts as you progress.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11926160625275737447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8691319772208152166.post-15293248875040592992013-10-31T10:33:51.696-05:002013-10-31T10:33:51.696-05:00I have just had long post and lost it, so if you g...I have just had long post and lost it, so if you get two post from me ... Sorry. Anyway, I have been eagerly waiting to read more on this certification program. I'm looking forward to seeing your results on the burn test. I have "Sewing Secrets from the Fashion Industry, Proven Methods to Help You Sew The Pros" and it has burn results of 10 fabrics including the odor they give off and description of the flame and burn. I'll try to do a post soon if anyone wants to see.

Our problem has always been pinpointing the smell...did that smell like feathers? celery? A lot of our fabrics are donated and are probably blends, which may be harder to id than pure fibers. Have fun!Laura SJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18146599519173951450noreply@blogger.com
