I don't like Insulbrite. It's hard to cut and I don't like the feel of it. I use cotton batting layed with the silver heat resistant fabric when heat resistance is needed in something. I bought a bolt of the silver fabric a few years ago on clearance for $2 a yard and so glad I did. I see it on sale for $8.99 a yard in stores now. Never ever pass up a good clearance buy on specialty quilt items. LOL.

Interesting info. I just made a table runner and used a single layer of the Warm and Natural. I thought of using something else inside but this one is mainly decorative for the dining room table. Good info to know for when I make another one.

Not a dumb mistake but a learning experience.

If you don't want the thickness of 2 extra layers of batting, you can use flannel or old towels and they serve the same purpose. Thanks for sharing your learning moment!

I was thinking the same thing! Who would have thought? How would you have known?

Package says to use one layer of Insulbrite and one layer of cotton like warm and natural. Did you use two or one layer of Insulbrite?

I used one layer of Insul-Bright, and nothing else. Must have been missing my head at the moment. I think a layer of flannel would be good to add and I have to get some neutral to keep on hand for this (for using the rest of the yard of Insul-Bright). It didn't occur to me to log on and look for instructions before making this table protector. Live and learn, I hope.

I didn't like when stitching through the Insul-brite that tiny silver particles would get into my machine!! no more for me.
