    I prefer two layers of W&N batting and one layer of Insulbrite.

    I use one layer of batting BUT. I use two layers of denim and a layer of fabric. Denim, batting, denim, fabric...do not quilt through all layers, leave one layer of denim unquilted as the heat can go throught the holes.

    I usually use one layer of cotton batting and one layer of insul-brite. My DD tried to use two layers of insul-brite with a layer of cotton batting and my dear Bernina 1530 started breaking needles. We broke four before I decided it was the thickness of the project that might be creating a problem. I have since dismantled her crazy potholder and pulled one of the layers of insul-brite out. I've tested the machine on regular fabric and she sews fine now. I think she will be okay. No more experimenting for us.

    I use 2 or 3 worn out washrags. Some times the terrycloth does come through the back a little. They are perfect for keeping my hands safe & I have a lot of worn out washrags!

    I use a layer of insulbrite, a layer of batting and a layer cut from an old terrycloth dishrag between the fabric sandwich.

    This is very timely Thanks lots of info I needed . Living with my brother all he has is those huge oven mitts. Ok for him but a lot large for my hands and I can't hold anything. . Can't do it today but tomorrow I am making pot holders. Somewhere I have the silver material that is for heat so can use that on the back. And plenty of old towels I can cut up.
