I teach Patchwork Classes and one of the projects for last Christmas and this coming one for pressies is Pot Holders and Pot Stands. I insist that my pupil''s use the proper insulating wadding as I would hate a friend or family get hurt when using them. There is so much rubbish sold as so called Oven gloves that are a dangerous menace that the least we can do IMO for our loved ones is make them something decent, isn't that what quilters do?
Just my penny's worth.
