Don't use insulbright for the holders that go in the microwave. Anything that goes in the microwave needs to be 100% cotton. There is a product and I can't remember the name but you use it to make the potato bags. Even cotton quilt bat has other fibers in it in the scrim so be very very careful about what you use if it is going in the microwave.
For pot holders used outside of the microwave I use one layer of insulbright and one layer of warm and natural. I do minimal quilting on my potholders as the fewer holes, the less space for heat to escape into. I have also made them where I have quilted them before I put on the back so am quilting just through the front and layers of insulbright and warm and natural and then put on the back.
