I used to use the toweling for the inside of my potholders. I have so much of the batting left over from quilts now I use a couple layers of that and one of insulbright. I have noticed that the more you quilt them, the thinner they become, so you don't want to hold onto the hot dish from the oven too long. My favorite pattern is a heart that has pockets you put your fingers and thumb into. I feels so stable I just love that. I can't remember the name of it.
I forgot to say that old silver iron board fabric works great too on the part that touches the pots. If you wear out part of the cover and want to use it for the outside of your pot holder. I am pretty sure they sell it by the yard too.
