So my question is...do I need special batting? I was wanting to make some with my scraps, but was unsure if they required something special in them (non burning).
No you don't need special batting. I use one layer of InsulBrite and two layers of Warm N Natural batting. There are instructions on the InsulBrite wrapping.

Here is the link to the Swap section. You'll see the thread for the pot holder swap in there. http://www.quiltingboard.com/s-11-1.htm

Same here. I put the Insulbrite between the cotton. I quilt a yard of fabric at the same time, then cut out the sizes I want-- usually 9" squares, (or shapes - sometimes it's a heart) and add a binding.
Those are really cute!!!

I've made a ton of these. I think I used 8' squares and folded my four squares in triangles instead of rectangles. I did not quilt them.

On some I did stitch all the way around the finished potholder, about 1/2" from the edge, but that is not necessary. They make great gifts.

hmm, I have some felted wool fabric leftover from another project - that might work nicely too.

I just made your cute potholder...Very good instructions with easy to follow pictures. I will definitely make more of these!

I wentto joann's they had some regular batting for potholders. I ask if it had to be doubled, and they said no. I have tried it and it really works.

Was it specific for potholders? What is the name of it, sounds interesting!

That lady at TJ Maxx, inspecting the potholder display, the fabric,the design, the construction... that was me! The Halloween kitchen towels were calling to me, but I managed to get out w grocery funds intact! I do hope my next Secret Pal really likes cute things...! TGIF to all
