Potholders - One layer or two?
#2
I usually use two layers of a thin cotton batting. But I am not an expert, that is just for my home use. I have a wood cook stove and go through a lot of potholders. If they don't get burned they get very dirty.

for potholders i use three layers: 2 of batting and 1 of insulbrite in the center. for hot pads i use only two layers: 1 of batting and 1 of insulbrite. i usually make my potholders 9"-10" in size as i make them for gifts quite frequently. my family are getting potholders and cookbooks from me for christmas.
you can purchase insulbrite quite inexpensively at hobbly lobby for around $2.50/yard.

here is a link someone posted for the teflon coated fabric on anther thread. it is not cheaper than insulbrite but some do use it as a heat deflector.
Here is a weblink to the Nancy's Notion's website which she markets as "Iron Quick":

I can't believe you are still useing a wood stove. Don't it get awful hot in the summer time. I used wood for heat back in the 50's when I was first married and lived out in the country.
