I use one layer of Insulbrite with a layer of warm and natural on both sides, so the insulbrite is in the middle.
|
I tried it with just 2 layers of batting and when I used them I burnt my hands taking a pan out of the oven so I switched to just one layer of insulbrite. Works wonderful.
|
I find the Insulbrite not thick enough for taking roasting dish out of oven... so I made 10 inch pot holders and fold them in half with the insulbrite inside... works well. I use two different materials for back and front, have the patterned piece for the front so I know to have that piece on the outside... because of the insulbrite having a right side and a wrong side...

when making potholders besides the insulbright what else do you use as batting? or do you just use insulbright? i tried making some with some insulbright with batting and it made it way too thick. broke a lot of needles!!! I have no real answer, however I do have a comment! There are NO dumb question! Ask away, if you don't you will never find the answer and never get ahead in your craft! TreeFrog |
Norma I think the 2 layers gives it extra heat protection. You don't want to burn your hand or drop a hot pan and burn yourself. If I make table hot pads then I only use one layer of insulbrite in those. No question is ever dumb..that is how we all learn by asking questions. crafty_linda_b

There was a post by someone which had a site: http://www.ufo-rphnage.com/potholder_hints.shtl
I think that is the site--they listed what they used for the "inside stuff." Everyone had good suggestions on this Board as well. |
"Internet cannot display page"..... that is all I got...

Have made many, and use insulbrite with one layer of good flannel. never break needles. (however, use fresh, sharp ones), and love the feel of the holders.

When making potholders I use 1 square of insul-bright and 2 squares of cotton batting. Makes for a nice thick potholder. Make sure you use a larger needle - 75/ll or 75/14 and a nice new needle will also make stitchen' alot smoother! Good Luck! :thumbup:
