    Please tell me what materials you prefer, batting/insulated fabric, and where you buy it. One of my old books says to buy an ironing board cover & cut it up!! Thanks once again.

    I use Insulbrite from Joann's. It's very cheap and also a layer of cotton batting.

    Are you talking about the one that is made like the criss cross coasters? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sipzCAflJQ8

    I am thinking of trying those - but quilting them afterwards :)

    You can buy the teflon fabric (shiny silver like ironing board covers) on the bolt at JoAnn's. I use regular cotton batting and the teflon fabric.

    I use isulbrite + cotton batting, or sometimes just several layers of denim (that's the way my mom did them, and wow, talk about indestructible).

    I absolutely can not stand that silver fabric. I also like a softer potholder. I use two layers of Quilter's Dream request weight batting.
