Can you microwave your machine embroidery? Is it safe? Nobody talks about this so I set out to get the answers and I'll share all the safety tips so you can put your machine-embroidered heat packs, bowl cozies and potato zappers in the microwave with no mishaps.
I've done my research and applied my physics degree to the microwave safety tips in the video. But I can't be held responsible for any mishaps you may have with your own microwave or your own sewn projects. If you're that person who burns the microwave popcorn - these projects are probably not for you. ( ఠ ͟ʖ ఠ)
