I think you meant to say it's not suitable for torchworking in that the colors are not guaranteed to stay true if they are not labeled for kiln/torchwork. As long as you don't try to mix the sheet colors with anything (including your frit), it's fine to use stained glass scraps. Just expect surprises (and disappointments) when you pull your beads out of the kiln.
