I use Insul-Brite PLUS batting - I like my pot holders and oven mitts THICK. Cotton batting without scrim or resins, only, only, only.

I like insult-Brite and find it works great without extra batting. I like my potholders not too thick. I have never had a problem with the heat going through either.

I was told to lay down the backing fabric, a layer of Insul-brite, a layer of Warm & Natural, then I put another layer of Insul-brite and the top focal fabric so my girls wouldn't get burned using them.

Insul-bright as others suggested is the best (I've used it with success).

Same here. I found it a good way to recycle old jeans.....works great!

I re-use as much as I can (have always found it part of sewing), so I have used the "quilted bed cover (cleaned - they need to be replaced every couple of years), and my ironing board covers (cleaned also)" I make sure the ironing board cover is "silver side out", even when I cover it up. When making a pot holder I try to always have a "true", bottom. this way I can have the "silver side" of the ironing board cover face down. I always end up covering it up, due to stains. I use the bed cover to add a little more loft too.
Good luck!
