Insulbrite and quilting
 

I am making a hot iron tote for my clover mini iron fro classes and was going to use insulbrite for the batting it is maybe about a 15x5 inch piece and was wondering about the distance for quilting on the insulbrite as I can't find anything on their website, only for the quilting on W&N or W&W.

This is a insulator?? Can it be used in potholders??

Will be watching this , as I am also curious :)

I made some potholders last week and used insulbrite. I just quilted about 1.5 inches apart on one and about 2 inches on the other. We saw the iron tote at a show yesterday, it was cross hatched about 3 inches apart . It did have insulbrite because I remember remarking to my friend "What a good idea, I wouldn't have thought to use insulbrite. So I say go for whatever you want to do.

I just crosshatch quilted mine when I made it about 1.5 inches apart so it looked good. It just needs to be held down well and your project is not huge so the 1.5 makes it show up. I really enjoy using mine.

I am not sure what distance is the minimum, but maybe if you email the manufacturer they can tell you? I think it's farther apart than 2 inches, maybe 4" or more? The layers are bonded some how, so it may even be as much as 8-10 inches.Please post what the response is, we'd all like a definitive answer I'm sure!

Check under projects on emblibrary.com they use this for their potholders in the hoop

I made potholders with insul bright and I did some very close stiching with it and maximum was about 2" apart. I think you can do whatever you want. I don't think the packaging has any information about minimum/maximum quilting distance on it. Have fun.

no rules to using insulbrite, but keep it small as the project is an item that will get lots of use! I would 1.5" myself!

There is no minimum quilting distance for Insulbrite. We suggest you do quilt slowly though and start with a new, sharp needle, as it tends to be hard on needles and quilting quickly will tend to make them break. As Jacqui stated, let the project be your guide as to distance apart.
