I don't like Insulbrite. It's hard to cut and I don't like the feel of it. I use cotton batting layed with the silver heat resistant fabric when heat resistance is needed in something. I bought a bolt of the silver fabric a few years ago on clearance for $2 a yard and so glad I did. I see it on sale for $8.99 a yard in stores now. Never ever pass up a good clearance buy on specialty quilt items. LOL.

Interesting info. I just made a table runner and used a single layer of the Warm and Natural. I thought of using something else inside but this one is mainly decorative for the dining room table. Good info to know for when I make another one.

Live and learn! Thanks for sharing!

Not a dumb mistake but a learning experience.

If you don't want the thickness of 2 extra layers of batting, you can use flannel or old towels and they serve the same purpose. Thanks for sharing your learning moment!

I was thinking the same thing! Who would have thought? How would you have known? |
Package says to use one layer of Insulbrite and one layer of cotton like warm and natural. Did you use two or one layer of Insulbrite?

I didn't like when stitching through the Insul-brite that tiny silver particles would get into my machine!! no more for me.

Thanks so much for the information.
