The silence cloth is just a suggestion, because it only takes one layer, but warm and natural, insulbrite and some of the other suggestions here work well too. I knew a lady who never used anything but old terry cloth towels for batting to make pot holders, and she wouldn't think of using anything else.
I try to get most of my supplies at Hancock's. Here the first 3 Wed of the month is either military discount or senior citizen. I like the fact that this discount is applied on top of all other discounts, you don't have to be in your 60's to particpate, I'm 59 and have been using it for a few yrs and its always the first 3 Wed of the month. Unlike the competitor that doesn't have a certain set day for thier discount.
