Has anyone made potholders with insulbrite?

Everything I have read says NOT to use poyester batting but double layer of cotton batting along with the Insulbrite. Also read something yesterday that said not to use the Insulbrite in the microwave to heat up potatoes or corn.

Just for another point of view I use blanket offcuts made of 100% wool for my potholders. I am able to buy offcuts from a local blanket manufacturer and like wool because it's a naturally good insulator.

Insulbrite will ruin a rotary cutting blade. I use an old worn out blade or my craft scissors to cut it. I found a piece of heavy duty aluminium foil sewn between cotton batting works just as good and it's much cheaper.
