Insul-Bright
I am making pot holders with some of my scrap material. I purchased the Insul-Bright Needlepunched Insulated Lining -45" x 1 yard and have that sandwiched between 2 layers of cotton batting. My question is... will that "crackling" noise go away?

In my experience, it has not gone away. I now tend to use about 4 layers of scrap cotton batting in my potholders instead.

Thank you for your response.... I bought 1 yard and will probably use all of this up... but I don't know if I will buy more if my pot holders will be "crackling" So you feel 4 layers of batting is enough for the heat... do you think its low loft batting or high loft? I generally use the Quilter's Dream Batting - Natural Cotton Request - thin loft.... so I wonder if 4 layers of that would be enough? What do you think?

Sunny850 - that is good news that you feel the crackling goes away. I only bought a yard of the insul bright.... and I have about 16 potholders that I will finish.... just trying to decide if I should buy more of the insul bright or just use extra batting....................

I don't know how you would quilt thru 4 layers of W&N batting. That would certainly be a difficult task I would not put my Bernina thru. For potholders, I use one layer of W&N with the Insul-Bright. The noise doesn't bother me as long as it protects my fingers and hand from being scorched.

This is my favorite method as well.
