Thread: Need help with placemats please

I like to use Stiff Stuff. It is thin and has a "bouce back" property that comes out great when I'get washe'd them on gentle in my washer. Google Stiff Stuff and there is a video. I think the company is Lazy Girl.

Thanks for the ideas....

I just used scraps from my warm and natural and the placemats are now two years old and washed numerous times and are looking great still.

Thanks. That's what I have on hand. Did you prewash the batting?

I always just wet the warm and natural and throw it in the dryer works fine

thanks....yes, they are fun to do....God bless

I have used thin poly batting, flannel and leftover warm & natural cotton batting in placemats. I would pre shrink the cotton batting by soaking in the sink because you don't wank crinkly placemats.
