Potholder Question Please
Hi...I am certainly no expert and can use a lot of help...just wondering...if I use one layer of Insul-brite and one layer of Warm & White in making a potholder would the cotton batting shrink and the Insul-brite not shrink...will it look lopsided or pulled in one section? One layer of Insul-brite probably won't be good I am thinking.
Also, could I quilt the top of the potholder to the batting and the Insul-brited first and then attach a back and flip it?
I don't know if I am explaining it right.
Thank you kind ladies and gentleman.

I use Insul-brite in the center and cotton batting on either side. I just layer and quilt through it all, then bind. Mine have been washed many times and although these is some shrinkage, they still look fine.
My guild has a potholder project there they collect them all year and sell them in a booth at our quilt show. The money goes to our service projects. They provide the Insulbrite and suggest this method. I make a lot of my leftovers into potholders.

Here's a simple potholder pattern that you turn instead of binding. This could help you.
It's a youtube video.
