I'm making a table runner and matching hot pads for my sister in law I was wondering if there was some kind of fabric that I needed to use or a spray to protect it or what. I'm so lost. Someone help me out.

I make hot pads the same way I make potholders. A couple layers of cotton batting is all you need.
|
There is silver backing you can get at Joann's,I don't know what it is called but it is for use in hot pads and pot holders.
|
I use InsulBrite when I make potholders.
|
You will need the Insulbrite batting for the hot pads. One layer of regular batting will not stop the heat from going through and possibly damaging a table or counter top. I even suggest two layers of the Insulbrite. (That's the batting with one shiny silver side). (I probably spelled Insulbrite wrong)
|
I use Insulbrite too. I would also suggest using Scotch guard on them to make them stain resistant. You spray on and let dry.
|
I just cut up an old silver coated ironing board cover.

Also note on the Insulbrite instructions that there is a reflective side to the InsulBrite.
