If you want a little more body and like the insulation idea, try InsulBrite.

Pellon makes a craft batting sold by the yard that's perfect. It's sold both fusible and non, but I prefer the non fusible. I know JoAnn's carries it and I think WalMart does. Thermore would be just right, too.

Thermore. It is thin and poly. Table runners get washed a lot and the poly holds up the best. It has a nice drape. The thinness of it allows you to put things on the runner like candles and glasses, without the worry of tipping.

If it's just for decorative purposes, then batting like Warm & Natural will do. If you plan to put hot things on it, use Thermore or something like it - the heat doesn't go through to whatever it's on. I used to use 2 layers of batting for potholders but now I use Thermore (Pellon makes a similar product) so that I can quilt it more easily. Most of the time, the table runners I give as gifts don't seem to be used for hot things. :-)
