Can I use regular batting for potholders?
I would like to make some pot holders to coordinate my kitchen and a few for my friends, but I am not sure if I can use regular batting. I have scraps of low and high loft poli as well as thin cotton batting. What do you think? Is polyester going to melt while burning my fingers at the same time when I go to pick up a pot? I would appreciate your advice. Thank you!

ive always used a layer of insulbrite and then a layer of batting, either cotton or poly or a blend. ive never had burnt fingers and the insulbrite isn't very spendy and you can get about 8 potholders out of a yard that are about 8.5 finished. hope this helps and have fun! i love potholders!

In just bought isulbrite and it wasn't too expensive. I used a 50% off coupon. I was told that all you needed to put in was the insulbrite...It's also supposed to be the same stuff used to make insulated fabric lunch sacks.
