Dear members:

It has been brought to our attention by several TQS members that the Baked Potato Bag featured in the e-Newsletter dated November 18, 2008 could cause a fire in the microwave after repeated use.  While we loved the idea and crafty nature of this bag,  it is always safety first.  We have removed this pattern.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
