If you're going to use batting on the bottom, I would suggest you stay away from "shreddy" unbonded battings. You'll be fine with anything like warm and natural, or thermolam or armo fleece or even felt.

there is a tute in the tutorial section where someone made a "hot bowl holder" by quilting both sides separately like you want to do your pot holders. it was quilted with the batting on top. i made a couple of these and it worked out fine by quilting both sides before sewing them together.

I just finished doing a different type of quilt-as-you-go quilt and used this method. It does create a lot of lint in the bobbin area. I think I would prefer to use some kind of thin batiste or the newsprint as suggested earlier.

no one has mentioned "Timtex" or "Peltex". these products are like a sheet of batting and are used to create potholders and other things that keeps the fingers from getting hot. maybe if you used this stuff, you wouldn't feel the need to procede with the way you are putting your potholder together.
