Hi....I'm wanting to make placemats. Of course they'll probably need washing at one time or another. I'm curious about what batting to use. I did prewash my fabric. Should I prewash any batting I put in? Thank you in advance for your expertise....

They sell a product that is a stiff fusible interfacing and it comes in a package of 4 placemats...very stiff...can't remember name but someone might know. l saw it featured at our guild..also used to stiffen purses and totes...really professional looking results.
Thanks. I'm looking into all the possibilities.

I use iron on fleece - stays in place and gives a nice finish to the placemats.
Guess I've never heard of iron on fleece. Where do you get it? Maybe I need to get out more LoL.Originally Posted by KittyD
Pellon makes a fusible fleece I use it it purses, table runners and placemats it washs great and lays flat
I use deco bond by Pellon for placemats. It gives a crisp finish and is washable. I think it's the same as the precut, it feels the same.
I love my life!
Some people prefer to use felt but I prefer to use the leftovers of Hobbs 80/20 batting scraps. Still trying to get the binding on this Xmas gift placemat.
A Good Friend, like an old quilt, is both a Treasure and a Comfort
Thanks. They are very pretty....beautiful gifts!!
Very pretty fabric.
