I use Warm and Natural or quilters felt. FYI - when making table runners - you may want to preshrink all including the batting. I like a flat runner. I h ave seen some were the backing shrunk more than the top and it never layed smooth again.

I use iron on pellon fleece. Lays flat, is easy to work with and doesn't shrink.

there is s "Pellon fleece" sold at joann's that is good for table runners and other items that need thin batting. I think that the price was $4.99 yd , 100% poly and is about 45 in wide. It is located with the interfacings. It is thin adding body to project but not bulk. Using coupon makes is reasonable. I have used it and it is nice. I do not think thtat this is iron on kind.

There are directions on the InsulBrite packaging on how to do it. When I make potholders, I put one layer silver side up and two layers of Warm n Natural underneath.

For table runners, I like to do the same. That way you can put a hot dish on it without having to worry about the table. It definitely makes it a poufy table runner if you use 3 layers.

Why not use fleece in a matching color? That way you can flip it over and have a second runner...Just thinking.

I use pre-washed pre-dried flannel - white or light, no print. It works very well and lies flat.
