Oh now I am so confused, I am in the middle of making pot holders, with Christmas themed fabric, I am just checking, that I am doing it correctly. I have main colour (outside pretty), one batting (cotton), one insul (still not sure which way to put it) and one for the other side (plain) does the insul go shiny towards the plain, or shiny towards the pretty. sorry I am confused.

I'm not sure that it matters anymore. Or maybe it depends on the product. The Insulbrite that I bought a long time ago said to put the shinier side towards the heat source, but the newer stuff( same brand) didn't specify and both sides looked the same. The older stuff you could definitely tell the difference. If you still have the instructions that came with it, check that. If it doesn't say, then I guess it doesn't matter.

This is how I make mine and they're fabulous. It's a pretty thick stack to sew through, but I glue the layers first (Elmer's) and use a walking foot and it works great. Makes for a nice thick potholder that stays thick after several trips through the wash. I love my homemade potholders!
