Text only posts suck, I know D:

But I have a question. I'd like to make one of those neckpillows where you fill them with rice or flax or something and stick 'em in the microwave for a minute or so then they get all nice and warm and you can wear 'em on your sore neck or whatever. Problem is, I've got tons of fabric, but I've no idea if any of it is microwave safe. How can I tell? Do natural fabrics do okay? I imagine such as polyester would have problems, but what about materials marked flame retardant or whatever?

Also, what kind of filling would you recommend? I'm filling it with rice since that's what we have, but it'll probably be smelly, though I can always change it.

I do appreciate you guys' help, though, and I'll be sure to post pictures once it's finished :)
