Batting for microwave bowl potholder
I'm sure this has been discussed in the past, but I
just found this free pattern & want to make one -
will cotton batting be OK or do I have to buy
special batting? Fabric will be 100% cotton as
will the thread, I know that much

You should try and get the 100% cotton batting. Warm & Natural & Warm & White both have a scrim of polyester that could alight. I scorched a 100% cotton towel that I had embroidered with a very small motif using poly thread. If it have been in the microwave any longer it would have started on fire.

Was in Joann the other day and a lady asked my opinion on this:

New to me. I guess they saw a need for a batting buyers know would be microwave safe and filled it. Batting was on sale then -- don't know if it still is, but Joann always has a coupon you can use.
