:D What kind of batting or lining do I need to make pot holders?
|
I use Insul-Bright and cotton batting. sometimes I'll use old towels or washcloths/dishcloths too.
|
Thanks alot :lol:
|
My mom made some with old quilted pieces that had the polyester fiberfill.
NOT the best idea. |
Someone told me they use double layer of heavy duty aluminium foil in between two pieces of thin batting. I haven't tried it.
|
How would that wash ?
|
I would sew the foil into the seam so I guess it would hold up layered in batting. I may make up a sample and see what happens.
|
I have used a couple of layers of reflective, metallic type replacement Ironing Board covers before now, with cotton batting next to the fabric.
|
I agree. Towels.. the batting intensifies the heat.. burns ( ! )
Towels always work great ! Because of the terry cloth, I use a fabric backer and front cover. Still have my log cabin pot holders from 1982 ! Good luck ! |
I've heard of people using old sweaters they've picked up at Good Will or thrift shops....shrink in dryer first!
