    Thank you so much. This is a great tutorial. I do have one question/comment. I bought a large amount of Insulbright a few years ago in anticipation of making a lot of potholders that year for presents. (Am I the only one that buys and those plans don't ever quite get finished or started for that matter? LOL )

    Anyway, is there any feedback from anyone on using just the Insulbright in any potholders they've made? The Insulbright website recommends using a layer of Insulbright AND a layer of batting as well in making potholders which is why I asked. Thank you in advance for any replies.

    I usually just use batting although I have used both together.

    These are thick enough that they only require the insulate, however, Here is what I do if I were just going to make very simole potholders,,(like backing,insulbright,THEN a layer of batting,,then top layer,,,,I put binding on mine, but you could easily just do pillowcase style,,,,which would be as follows: insulbrite, batting, backing,right side up, then top layer, face down......sew around edges, leave a small opening to turn,,, then hand stitch opening closed, and sew all aroud 1/4" for a nice finish. easy peasy also.......jacie
