i have a question for all of you coaster makers: what are you using for the middle batting, flannel, insulbrite? one of the purposes of a coaster is catch spills or sweat rings. i use coasters a lot but i have cork ones i use and now want to make some postage stamp one....... remember i am about all things postage stamp and finding creative ways to use them.
the theory i want to try out is to include a piece of flannel backed tablecloth in the middle of the coasters to make them leak proof. i don't know how well this tablecloth vinyl will hold up in the dryer. the flannel backed table cloths that i saw and the $ store were very thin so i am thinking that this thin piece of 'vinyl" should hold up in the dryer pretty good. just wondering has anyone else tried the vinyl tablecloths in their coasters and if they dried them in the dryer how did the material respond?
