    Ok I have a question...when you use the insul-brite I was told to make sure that the silver side is facing the bottom...so for the sandwich, it would be the backing, insul-brite silver side against backing, then batting, then the top...can't remember y I was told that but at the time it made sense....

    I second the vote on Warm and Natural, it lays nice and is easy to work with.

    If I use anything at all I like a piece of flannel in there. It's not too heavy, but it gives the runner enough body to quilt and not so thick that things tip over when placed on it.

    I just did a table topper -

    and I used Warm and Natural. I looked great but I was displeased with the bulk. I thought it was too thick for that application when I was done. Before I did it the DD suggested a layer of flannel instead of batting - wish I had done that (just my opinion you understand . . . :-) )

    That's very pretty.Amazing how so many quilty pretties are learning experiences. The last runner I made used flannel as batting.It worked fine, but thought maybe there was a new thin batt just for runners,mats etc.

    I like pellon fleece or thermolam plus. They lay flatter and are a little stiffer. I also use these products for all wallhangings. They also dont get that ugly fold after storing them folded.

    I only use Warm and Natural. I like the low loft for table runners
