Placemat question
I want to make some placemats for my grand kiddos. My dil usually uses very light fabric ones rather than quilted. What would you suggest putting between the layers on cotton? They need something to help hold their shape.
Thanks

Thanks everyone! I do have some of the fusible interfacing, think I will give that a try. I usually use Warm and Natural too but since she likes thinner ones, I needed to pick your minds. LOL! I am just going to make simple Mickey and Minnie fabric placemats. I love the fabric. I will try to take a couple photos when completed!

I have a placemat pattern from a reputable fabric company that recommends a layer of flannel. If you want it a little thicker, use 2 layers of flannel. The problem with actual batting is that it makes for instability of anything placed on it, especially glasses. There's a reason those are sometimes called "tumblers"!
