I use 2 layers of 80/20 batt with insulate between them for hot pads but I still don’t depend on them on a good wood table. If a casserole dish from the oven comes to the table, I use my phone book hot pad. Yep, I made a quilted cover for a phone book for really hot dishes.

That is an interesting idea! Thankfully, I have until October to work on the snowman table runner!

When I make table runners like that, I don't quilt thru the insulbrite. I quilt the top, layer the insulbrite, then put a backing on the runner that "floats". I have washed them fine. They do pucker like a normal quilt but that doesn't bother me.
