I'm fairly new to this site and still navigating my way around but I wanted to tell you that your tutorials are superb! This one with the Hickory Nut templates is the second one I've looked at and I'm so convinced that I can do it that I'm going to order the two larger sizes. Can you also use Insulbrite along with the batting or would that make it too thick? I'd like to use the XL size to make some trivets/hot pads.
