I use insulbright when I want them to double as long hot pads for serving dishes. When I'm out of insulbright I use pre-shrunk warm and natural. Both quilt up flat. I always iron when complete and after each washing.

I do this too with my table runners, my sister loves it cause she doesnt have to remove it from the table to serve dinner, just put the pots right on. I will say she doesnt keep anything on the runner, so I actually added batting and insul-bright, SID, and viola!

I use preshrunk flannel in mine. I want them to be used when I set the table for a dinner as they match the placemats. However, I set the hot dishes on wooden trivets so the runners do not have to protect the table. They do have to lay absolutely flat on the table.

I like Hobbs Theremore batting. It's very thin but a bit firm. Quilts easily. Tablerunners have some definition but lie flat. I use a coupon at Hobby Lobby to get mine. One package does a lot of tablerunners.
