Placemats: Cotton batting or Flannel???
As I have posted before, my church is making at least 30 placemats for people who are on the program Meals on Wheels will receive as a holiday gift. My question is what is the best item to use inside the placemat?? I am working on finishing the other two made from this strip piecing. I have always used Hobbs 80/20. Have plenty of scraps to use up. Thanks for your advice.

I have used cotton batting because that is what I had and they were great. But I think flannel would be great too! I would pre-wash either first to get the shrinkage done before putting it in the placemats so the placemats will stay smoother and flatter when done.

I like using Stiff Stuff by Lazy Girl Design for placemats. http://www.lazygirldesigns.com/sew-l...in-interfacing It gives them body, but they are still bendable and mine washed up nicely after putting them in the washer on gentle.
