Before I found Bosal or Craf-Tex forms, I used flannel. The forms are double sided fusible and give the mats a consistent shape and size. They seem expensive, but to me, they're worth it. My work looks much more professional with them.

I use Stiff Stuff from Lazy Girl Designs. It provides body, but is soft...washes up nice too! http://www.lazygirldesigns.com/sew-l...in-interfacing

The first placemats I made I used warm & natural cotton batting but prewashed it first; they did OK, still crinkled a little after washing finished mats. The next ones I made I tried a low lift Mountain Mist poly batting and they did fine with little crinkling. Then I used a layer of prewashed flannel and think I like them best as they are the thinnest and stay the flattest.
