Onebyone is right. DH teaches metallurgy and said it doesn't make any difference in a pot holder which side the heat shield is on, your hand is protected from the heat. Shield between two layers is the best for sure proof no hot spots.

This has been my way of doing potholders for years. Old sweatshirts work too. I am into recycling.

I make a normal quilt sandwich, quilt it with an odd or ugly back. Then I put a layer of insulbrite and a good backing on, stitch around the edges and bind. That way the insulbrite isn't quilted thru or compromised. From the front, it looks quilted.
