I know I have posted a thread about potholders somewhere before. I have only made one or two sets awhile back. So I don't remember if you are to use 2 pieces of insulbrite and 1 piece of cotton batting plus fabric for one potholder. I was thinking of 2 pieces of insulbrite so that no matter what side you use it would protect from the heat. Or does it not make a difference? And also to make potholders, is it nessesary to prewash?

I would use 2 pieces of insulbrite and the additional cotton batting would be optional. I may make it rather bulky.
I would prewash, so that later they will lay nicely after laundering.

When making heavier potholders, try making them over sized, the bulk is easier to manage while using them. I love my over sized potholders, they cover more surface and can pitch hit as extra hot pads :D:D:D
