I really want to make some nice ones as Christmas gifts for friends, but
the potholders I've made in the past have been too flimsy. What do you
experienced potholder makers use for batting?=20

Kate - thanks so much for the info about the Insulbright. I picked up
two yards yesterday and almost have the first two potholders done; just
have to sew a strip of binding along the edges.=20

This stuff is great!!

I've always used left-over wool sweaters that had accidently been washed in
the machine. You maybe could find them at a used-clothing store. Or I have
used wool scraps (I think it is called wadmel).

You can use two or more layers of whatever you used before.

The good parts of worn-out bedding make good potholder stuffing, as do
multiple layers of wool flannel.

Salvaged rags have already been washed until they can't shrink any
more, and you don't need a very big "good part" to make a potholder.
