I use 80/20 for placemats. My favourite is Hobbs 80/20 fusible.

With placemats or table runners, I use the wine glass test. Would a fine glass get tippy? So most of the time I used flannel. I wash it in very hot water and dry it thoroughly to make it hit the maximum shrinkage. (I am not one who usually pre-washes, but it is critical for this) This gives them just a bit of cushion without any bulk.

I use Pellon product PEL988. They call it "white fleece", but it's very thin and recommended for table runners. It's lovely to work with. I've made many table runners and place mats, and there's no problem with wine glasses !

I have used a very thin polyester batting that actually was created for quilted clothing.....I can't remember the name of it I think it was made by hobs Thermore® yep that is the name….just found it...

I'm making some placemats and tried using polyester batting in the first one. I didn't like the puffiness. I thought polyester because the placemats would be washed a lot. I want a flat look. What recommendations do you have? Thanks, quilters!

gives it body but not too thick. I usually set wine glasses right om table not on the mat. I also Warm and White. Especially for lighter fabrics Judy in Phx |
I have made lots and sell them and I use Fusiable fleese.

Since I found Soft & Stable (also comes as a fusible) I’ve been hooked on it for placemats. They even sell a package set of 4 already cut for placemats.

I use Pellon Deco Bond. My place mats are very flat. Here is runner that I made that still needs quilting. I put it on the table to keep it flat and wrinkle free. Here are some place mats I made for plates only we use in the breakfast room. They are not quilted.
