If I was making oven mitts or hot pads I would use at least one layer of terry towelling (I would just cut up an old towel), with what ever other batting I might use.
I agree with this. The very BEST pot holder I ever had came from Wms.Sonoma and was imported from England. It was several layers of terry cloth quilted together and bound. If you want to use the Insulbright then pad it with a couple of layers of old towel cut up. I'd use the terry cloth over the batting, especially because the terry, being old would have been preshrunk.
