The product called Insul-Bright is amazing. I used it for Christmas gifts and it is great to work with (but not cheap). I am sure you can get it through the Keepsake Quilting catalog...probably other places too.

I use lovingly used cotton baby and toddler blankets. They are already fire resistant (by law) single layer for hot pads, and triple layers for pot holders. I buy them from second hand stores like Goodwill, that way I recycle, they benefit for their programs. Yard sales are a great resource too.

wow jbsstrawberry, great idea! You ladies are the best! Thanks so much for all the ideas. I'l see which one I use on this one and use the others for the next ones, now I feel like making a bunch of potholders just to see which idea I like best, LOL!

Well, I'm glad everyone told you about Insulbrite. I was looking for your comment yesterday or so (before anyone had mentioned Insulbrite) and couldn't find it. It works great (add a layer of batting in addition) and is very reasonable. It is usually behind the counter and you have to ask for it. I made lots of potholders at Christmas. There were quick little gifts and I had fun making them!
