I have heard too many stories of fabric items igniting in the microwave to even consider making anything fabric to go in a microwave. If the item is used on a table after the item is baked or microwaved, Insulbrite would work fine and protect the surface it's placed on. Personally, I would not put anything fabric in a microwave. No matter what anyone else said.
