I use thin batting or sometimes flannel that has been washed several times. In my table runners, placemats, and mug rugs don't want thickness. Worried about glasses tipping. BUT if you are making them....use what you want for batting. That's what's nice about quilting...some rules CAN be broken or bent.

Since this is going to be for my daughter and I really want her to USE IT, I think I will put some insulbrite and batting in it so she can put hot stuff on it. Does that stuff work really well for hot dishes? I would hate to ruin her new table...lol Something tells me I wouldn't make too many points with that...LOL
If I make a reversible one, like I want to, would I need to put Insulbrite on both sides? Not sure how that stuff works.
Thanks again everybody for your posts.

I have just started trying to figure out this new QB - I had really become comfortable with the other one and bang - it is changed. I usually put warm and natural or Quilters Dream in my table runners. It is just enough for me (not so much to make it thick and things fall over but makes it nice and smooth on the table.

I have successfully used fleece as a backing for a table runner. It is soft, not too thick and is easily washed when someone drops something on it. It also means that you can stand a vase or similar on it without the vase being off balance. I have
