The fabric is already fire resistant because it was for infants. My other favorite is old ironing board covers. I discard the top and the bottom fabrics of the cover, and use the thick batting stuff inside, also already heat resisitant.
JBSSTRAWBERRY: Your quote states "Blessed are the crackef for the shall let in the light!" You have made all of us think more about recycling. I'll be using your recommendations in the future. Thank you.
Eddie: I have the potholder book you speak of and have made many potholders but mine are showing up slightly INFERIOR to yours. Good job! Your star points are great, colors are great, everything is square and your binding looks like you've done it for years...these are all things my potholders LACKED. :cry: :oops: :lol: Thanks for sharing your nice work.
