Batting for Table Runner
#2
Depending on what use you have in mind - ie simply decoration or a more practical use such as placing hot dishes on it - I always use whatever is on hand according to the purpose.
I have finished doing a runner which is purely decoration and just used flannel as a batting. Recently I finished off a couple and used wool batting that was leftover.

I just use regular 80/20 batt for my runners BUT they are not enough protection for hot casserole dishes in my opinion. It would be fine if you had an arborite or glass top table but a good wood table might be ruined.

this was my thought, too. my aunt's table is very sensitive to hot or very warm dishes.

I will be watching the responses to this thread. My little kitchen table is very dear to me (one of the few things I requested from my grandmother's "estate"). It is oak, and has painted decorations applied by my mother when I was a toddler. I have a roommate who means well, but it is just a matter of time before he puts something on it that he should not...possibly a hot pan. I was thinking about an edge-to-edge table topper, with maybe two layers of Insulbrite. I wonder if that would be enough.
