Is 3 layers of batting too much?

JAF.com has the 1 yard precut for sale half off very often if you don't have a JAF store nearby. It is found under stabilizer. Not sure if it is on sale now. You might even check this weekend because holidays they are know for having cheap or free shipping !!!

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!

Yes!! that's what I did for Christmas. But rather than having to buy the insulbrite I was wondering what other people use. I didn't even think of "old towels"
