What kind of batting for Pot Holders
#1
I am thinking of making some pot holders for Christmas and was wondering if there is any special type of batting I should use. I would think I would need to be heavy but I'm not sure what to even ask for. Please help!

The old fashion way was to use two layers of batting and a piece of cotton between the layers. I have also used old cotton mattress pads and pre quilted fabric. The newer ideas do work best but if you are on a budget these are the alternatives. Enjoy!!!!!

I use wool blanket off cuts.
Tried to practise hand quilting on one of my pot holders yesterday and it was a nightmare as it was so thick. After that I tried to practise hand quilting with just some off cuts of thin batting. Easy! So I guess I would recommend wool blanket off cuts only if you're machine quilting.
The funny thing is that as I've given away every single pot holder I've made so far I can't report back on how they are to use. I might try and fix that by making one for my own use today.

I've seen something for pot holders in Spotlight I don't know what you call it but it seems to be a white poly or cotton batting with a silver sliver type thing woven into it. It is stored with the ordinary batting area
