Thread: What kind of batting for Pot Holders

I also use the insulbright with the cotton batting

I bought some insulbrite to make some potholders and my craft room ate it. I have no idea where it went to lol. I am going to get more.

I also read online of people using denim in potholders. I think I'm going to try out a few combinations and see what I like best. Sounds like the cotton/insulbrite/cotton combo is in the lead for popularity lol

I made them according to this video. they are so simple and quick. I use 1 layer of W & N cotton batting and 1 layer of Insulbrite.

Insubright is a good product to use. I recently made jean potholders w/ one layer of cotton batting. It does not stand up to the heat. luck for me they're mines. I would have been disappointed if it was a gift and was burning the recipient's hand. :oops:

There are directions on the paper that comes with InsulBrite. I believe it says to use one layer of InsulBrite (shiny side toward the heat) and two layers of batting underneath. This gives a nice thickness to the pot holders.

You can use a coupon at JoAnn's for InsulBrite. It comes by the yard by the interfacings.
