Does anyone know if you have to use nonflammable fabric for making children's clothing? I know that you have to use it for sleepwear. Any help would be greatly appreciative. vmyrick |

The federal guidelines are flame retardant fabric for bedding. Otherwise childrens' clothing is generally not flame retardant.

 Thanks so much for the input, I was getting very agitated concerning the subject. Now I guess I don't have to worry about buying all that flame retardant thread and such. vmyrick |
