    I save myselft the aggravation and use the oven mitt lining fabric (silver on oneside)...not too bulky and not hard on needles.

    Thank you so much all for this thread! I was looking for those answers. Insul-brite or batting, how many layers, and why everyone uses what they do. Got some GREAT answers to my many questions. Just joined, looks like a great group of quilters & crafters in here!. Thanks.

    What a wonderful idea.......Christmas Card potholders.

    The insul-brite is only reflective on one side. I like to use the cotton batting in additional to the insul-brite to give some extra insulation. The extra cotton batting doesn't make it too thick.

    I use one layer of insulbrite and 2 layers of warm and natural cotton batting, haven't had a problem with needles or quilting, so I can't really help you, hopefully someone can.
