I know that this has already been answered on the forum but I cannot find the thread! I want to make some pot holders BUT the directions say use cotton batting ..is that ok? I thought something else might work better but my computer is at work and as much as I would love to, i cannot spend all day at mj's looking for this! alternatives to the cotton batting? would old towels work? thanks for your help
Janie- I've used cotton batting before. I usually use 2 thicknesses of it, plus a cut up towel or old washcloth. Also, cotton fabric, cotton thread.... :) Or, you can buy insulbrite, and I guess you just use one layer. You can buy it at fabric stores. I like my potholders thicker, and I have a ton of old towels, that's why I do it that way.
