I purchased Insul-Bright at Hobby Lobby a couple of days ago for $2.59. First time I purchased it. I had actually gone in to get some solvable stabalizer for embroidery.

FYI --I've been making tons of potholders this fall, both for craft shows and Christmas gifts. I wish i had stock in insulbrite. I've used so much.
For what it's worth. hobby Lobby's is only about 18" wide. The last I purchased at Joannes (5yds with coupons) is about 40 inches wide. Cann't remember what LQs was priced or how wide. |
JoAnn's and Hancocks both carry the insul brite for pot holder and other items for heat resistance.

I've been making potholders with 3 layers of pre-washed Hobbs 100% cotton batting (no scrim), but they are kinda stiff. I think I'll try the InsulBrite. Thanks!

I just started making pot holders this summer. In fact it became 'How I Spent My Summer Vacation.' When I checked on Etsy to see what everyone was using they were mostly made with one layer of Insul-brite and one layer of Warm and Natural. So that's what I did. So far so good. No complaints.
I always have had trouble with large pot holders flopping into whatever I was cooking so I make them smaller...6 3/4" |

I found that a square of jean fabric between two squares of cotton batting works real well. Do not use polyester...it melts.

Insul-bright for the heat
