Does anyone know if regular pellon interfacing can be used for the microwave bowl potholders? My cotton batting is not heavy enough to hold the shape and I would like to use a stabilizer in it. Just afraid to put it in the microwave.
Thanks

I went and got some all cotton batting and made my husband 2 of them for his 2 different size bowls and he is so happy with them. I just channel quilted mine and they are holding up well. My thanks to the lady who posted the pattern for the fabric bowls. ;-)

Regular cotton batting (i.e. what we use for quilts) generally contains glue and resin. It is glue and resin that can cause fires in microwaves.
I only use the Warm Tater Batting that is made especially for microwaves as it is glue and resin free. I have found the best deals for this at Fabric.com. I watch for it when it is on sale and then order. I do a lot of craft fairs in the fall. Last weekend I sold almost 20 of them and came home with an order for 10 more for Christmas gifts!
