I think you would be OK if the batting is fairly thin (low loft) like Warm and White. In my last pot holders I used two layers of this with Insulbrite inside, so had three layers total--they were a little stiff but bendable and definitely do the job. I did use traditional binding on them, so sewing the mitered corners got a little tricky through so many layers, but I just went slow and my Juki plowed right through them all!
