??heat-resistant material for hot pads
Joan Mathew
Hello everyone,
I am preparing to make some hot pads and casserole holders, and I
need to find some sort of heat-resistant material to put in my quilted
"sandwich" of fabric so the heat won't come through and damage the
table. I suppose this stuff would be similar to the batting or felt
which goes inside quilted items, but heat-resistant. Can someone tell
me a good mail-order source for this product....I don't even know what
it's called.
Thanks very much,
Joan

I have used layers of terry and layers of flannel; in addition, the
silver-backed quilted stuff can be used inside, although I never bother.
I don't know of a mail-order source; however, it is available at most fabric
shops - sometimes you have to ask for it, as it might be stuck in an out of
the way place.

I made a curling iron cover recently and lined it with "teflon" fabric.
The book I got the idea from called it "teflon" fabric when I asked for
it at the fabric store they said "oh, the stuff you cover ironing boards
with?" I don't know if that's what the author had in mind, but it works:
I can wrap up my curling iron and through it in my suitcase or gym bag
and not scorch an clothing. Should work for hot pads, too.

There are two types of insulating fabrics that can be used. One is
"Thermal Fleece", and the other is " 'Iron Quick' Teflon-coated
Fabric".
Both of these are available through Nancy's Notions catalog. They will
send you a free catalog if you call 1-800-833-0690.
However, as Nancy was saying, you really don't need to put the
insulating fabric in potholders. I have made tons of them and I use
old worn out sweatshirts and old towels on the inside. I use denim
(usually the cut-off from my son' jeans), and then use my fashion
fabric on the top. I finish them by serging around the edges.

I've used an old ironing board cover, when I was making them this last
Christmas. Works fine so far!<G>

Last year I made a set of place-mats & pot holders quilted out of old
jeans. I used old terry towels for the "batting". Since they were worn, I
used three layers( use your own judgement). I gave these to my sister for
Christmas. She has raved about them! They are a bit bulky but wash and
wear fine. They were machine quilted not by hand.
It is just a thought. I guess it's a good way to recycle!

Joan, I think if you get a thick cotton batting it would work fine. I
have a lady on GEnie that sells some nice cotton batting that is
thick, if you are interested let me know will get you her email
address.

I have used old mattress pads purchased at garage sales. You could
double the layers if you wanted to....

Old Teflon coated ironing board covers and cotton batting will do the job.

Nancy's Notions has a Teflon-coated, heat resistant fabric called Iron
Quick. It's 45" wide, and sels for $4.70/yd, which seems reasonable. They
also have some other hard-to-find fabrics, like Silvercloth, for
protecting silverware.
In the U.S., call them at (800) 245-5116 for more information. Elsewhere,
call (414) 887-2133.

Nancy's Notions sells "Iron Quick" Teflon coated fabric for $4.70 a yard and quilted
Iron Quick for $12.50 a yard. It is on page 135 of catalog #26. It is the silver
fabric that some ironing board covers are made of. I have used it for casserole covers
and it works great.
The usual disclaimers apply.

I just wanted to thank everyone for pitching in to help me with advice
and tips on making insulated table items (hot pads, etc.). I'm just
getting back into sewing after a number of years, and I was never an
expert to begin with....I really appreciate the welcome to these
newsgroups and the advice I've received.
Thank you!
