There is a batting for pot holders. I don't really like it as I think it's to thin. I use regular batting and I usually put a square of recycle blue jeans in the pot holder to give it a little thickness.
We would worry less about what others think of us if we realized how seldom they do.
Insul-bright by warm company is mase for potholders and works great
Thank so much for the suggestions!

I use a layer of thinsulbright surrounded by a layer each of Warm and Natural (3 layers).
Current piecing: Zig Zag quilt & LOTL (HSTs done, assembling units)
Hand piecing project: Apple core (TOP IS DONE!!!! Yay!)
The insulbright works great but for a thriftier version use an old bath towel. Pick one up at the thrift shop and you will get lots potholders out of one large towel.
