Help! Hot pads don't work!
#31
The very best oven mitts I have are store bought and use a very heavy layer of terry, plus canvas on the back. They are from Williams Sonoma.
If I was making oven mitts or hot pads I would use at least one layer of terry towelling (I would just cut up an old towel), with what ever other batting I might use.

'At least one layer of cotton batting is recommended with Insul~Bright when used as Oven Mitts or Pot Holders. Insul~Bright is heat-RESISTANT, NOT heat-proof.'
This is a quote from the Insul-bright website.

To remove items from the oven, I now use Ov Gloves. They keep this klutz (one thanksgiving I got 5 stitches cutting butter with a knife), they are made from kefvlar (sp???) if you can kefvlar fabric, I would recommend using that as a filler.

http://www.warmcompany.com/pdfs/ibeng.pdf I make mine to this pattern but the lining fabric is a good quality calico, which I use heaps of for not only these but backing for place-mats and linings for heavy duty totes.

My mother sent me a hand mit for the oven and it's like having a think piece of cloth on when I take something out of the oven. Talk about almost burning my fingers! She used felt - so that material doesn't work. I think when I make some oven mits or pot holders, I'll use something a little more heat resistant.
