There are no dumb questions!
The lady that runs the LQS has a sample of a hotpad that was made with only insulbright, no regular batting. It has a burn, in some places clear through the potholder. It was in flames when her husband found it. He had made some soup, was stirring it, took the spoon out and laid it on the potholder, went downstairs to do something, came back upstairs and the potholder was in flames. The LQS owner is now recommending NOT to use insulbright in potholders - batting only.

when making potholders besides the insulbright what else do you use as batting? or do you just use insulbright? i tried making some with some insulbright with batting and it made it way too thick. broke a lot of needles!!!
