I am making placemats and napkins now for a bridal shower gift. I always prewash my fabric to get any shrinking done before making the mats. And for batting I like Low loft polyester batting since it doesn’t shrink and the mats stay flat. It gives just enough cushion for the quilting design to show without making them too bumpy for glasses.

All of these suggestions are great. I think I will have to try them and see what I/dil like the best.

I used the interfacing in these as my DIL likes flatter placemats for the kiddos.
