Watched several Youtube videos, have more questions than answers now. These would be for kids so I would like to keep them as flat as possible, using wholecloth. Use the birthing method? What do I do for topstitching if I use the birthing method. Not wanting to bind.

I guess it also depends on whether or not you want your placemats to protect the table from heat as well, or just be something to help catch whatever falls? What about a layer of fusible batting or fusible fleece on one piece of fabric and a stiff fusible interfacing on the other?

Just home from a quick run to JF and got the Deco bond. I do have some W&N that I could reuse(yep, took apart a quilt) too. At this point I am undecided whether to top stitch or not. The deco bond is fusible on one side only, how does the other side work if I choose not to top stitch? My top stitching skills are limited. Plan on using the envelope method.
Boston your placemats are pretty! Used that same fabric in an I Spy quilt.
