Potholders
#31
Although you don't actually need Insulbright, it does add insulation to your potholders for safety. It is more protective than regular batting. I grew up with potholders before this product was made and know you don't HAVE to have it but it is good. :lol: Hope I made sense. I personally use Insulbright and cotton batting.

I used two layers, but it would depend on your mattress pad.

I read somewhere that felted wool sweaters work well. I've got two wool sweaters that were my DH's that got accidentally felted :oops: . I'm going to cut them up and use them in some of the potholders. It might be interesting to see which works better.

Wow, I really appreciate everyone's response to my question. It looks like there will be several pot holders made this holiday season.
I will be making my pot holders with one layer of Insulbrite and one layer of W and N.

A few years ago I bought some crocheted hot pads at a church quilt show that had 2 hot pads crocheted together and found that no extra insulation was required. I made one of my own and found it to be very satisfactory.
