When I make the oven mitts I use old placemats, the quilted ones, place couple layers those and couple layers of recycle material and then the heat shield fabric for the palm/fingers and thumb area. The seams around them mitt and wrist areas are closed in bias that I make to match or coordinate the mitts. Only seam that doesn't get bias is where the thumb meets the rest of the mitt. I can't remember now where I got the pattern but it's one I have used for years and years. It never fails, hubby uses them and burns the tips, they just don't seem broke in until he uses them. He has stirred any sauces with them yet. Matter of time.
