Potholder help!
#1
I just made my first and possibly last set of potholders. I had enough scraps left from a table runner to make four more blocks and thought they would make cute potholders for the friend I was giving the table runner. I used two layers of Insul-brite, shiny side out as instructed. They seem too "puffy". I just did an X through the middle as even SITD seemed difficult. The binding was also hard as the potholders were stiff. Would it be better to use one layer of Insul-brite and a couple of layers of flannel? One layer of Insul-brite by itself doesn't seem like enough padding, but two seems too much. What would you recommend?

Ok now what I am going to suggest may sound like it might be hard, but it is not if you have a walking foot. Take a quilt marker and put a box mid way on the top side and stitch it. Just be aware of the bottom and top when you come to the original X stitching that no folds occur as you stitch over it. It will work, I have done this before myself when I thought there was too much puffiness on a pot holder.
