I love mine but they were really not very easy to make. I made one with insulbrite and one with batting or fleece. It's been too long to remember but I know it didn't have the insulbrite. There's not a whole lot of difference as far as the heat going thru to my hand. They were really stiff and that made it hard to sew the binding on the edge. What did you use inside and was yours stiff? I would really love to make more for friends.
I cropped the picture to try and show the detail, but it made it blurred...
Cut the insulbright a little smaller than the fabric so that the bias binding will go on easier. Do not put the insulbright in the part that goes on the back on the hand when you insert your fingers, only the part that touches the pan. I did some quilting lines to keep the insulbright flat. The one on the right is the same pattern just stretched longer to grip both sides of a big pot.
