Pot Holders
#61
I think this is a very interesting thread. Love the old mattress pad idea, as well as using jeans. I can't use old towels because I use those for the dogs. I took a poll in a quilt guild meeting recently and was amazed at how many of us use old, ragged, burned potholders! I encouraged everyone to make new potholders and USE THEM!!! May as well use pretty potholders that have food on them and are a bit scorched!

I looked, like some of the others at Hancocks and found nothing so I hit Google. I found something they call Therma-Flec Heat Resistant Heavy Cotton Batting. I haven't checked any further but this is the first time I have seen anything besides insulbrite. It looks like the quilted fabric you can get by the yard and says it is heat resistant up to 360 degrees. At 16.00 a yard it better do something .Here is the link for what I found at fabric.com

Maybe someone else on here has heard of it or used it and can tell us more.

I just finished making some pot holders yesterday. I used insul-brite in the middle with one layer of warm and white cotton batting on each side of that. With the cotton top and back that made 5 layers. They are a little stiff but bendable. I just quilted them on the diagonal and found if I left the quilting about 1 1/2" apart verses 3/4" they are less stiff and feel better.
