Did I read in a past post to Lugnet about a final rinse in Borax adding fire retardant properties to fabric. Is this correct? Does anyone (...)

(...) thank you! I like the idea of using perma press sheets. The fabric is more tightly woven and has a heavier hand than most yardage of comparable cost. This makes it hang well.

I've heard the tales of show requiring "fire proof" skirts, but I've never had a show here in Atlanta make that request. We did the simplest thing we could think of and just bought some inexpensive bed sheets at Wal-Mart. I found some nice dark (...) (23 years ago, 23-May-01, to lugnet.org.us.nclug)
