    I do this as well and have been very happy with my potholders.

    Something different from the other posts -

    Along with one layer of InsulBrite I use one piece of teflon fabric. The teflon is on the side closest to the heat. It works great and my potholders are not super thick.

    The teflon fabric is usually sold near the interfacing.

    Wool! My mother used to cut up old ratty blankets and layer the wool. I didn't get it until I realized none of the commercial pot holders or even the insulbrite worked as well. I put a notice out to Freecyle for old wool sweaters, blankets,etc and got some great free "batting" for my potholders.

    Those are cute and esy. I need an extra bridal shower gift later today - maybe I'll make a few. Thanks for the link.

    Chele - your pot holder is cute.
