Thanks, Cindy
I use Pelon's lightest weight, non-adhesive.....once it's flipped and pressed i cut away the interfacing. I have not found it to be too thick. I also look for very very inexpensive ultra light weight fabrics and use those sometimes as well. If you want to look at my place-mats in the pictures section - except for the "MOM" one - they are all done with the 2 methods i described...tho these are machine stitched as i am still not able to do hand sewing til my full recovery from thumb surgery.
