Yes, I covered a large board my husband made with a layer of insulbrite and then a layer of cotton batting. I like a firm pressing surface. Works out great!

You can also get insulated batting that doesn't have the silver coating on it. That's what I used in my holiday tablecloth.

It's not a dumb question at all, it's a very good one. Look at all the replies its generated. Lots of ideas for us to try.
