Where to buy Insulated Batting

JoAnn’s has this product, and I’m guessing other fabric/craft stores too.  Amazon carries insulated batting and I have shared links for your convenience.

You can buy insulated batting in a craft package size or by the yard.  (In my opinion, you save money by purchasing in bulk by the yard. Choose the product on the left to purchase by the yard. The quantity you enter will determine the number of yards you want to purchase. QTY 1=1 yard.     QTY 3=3 yards)

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Insul-Bright be used in the microwave? NO because of metalized fiber.

What temperature will this product withstand? Potholders made with this product can go up to 400 degrees.  If your oven temperature is warmer, just use a couple of potholders to be on the safe side.

Is there a right side or a wrong side? If you are using the woven batting there is NO right or wrong side.  If you are using an insulated batting with a clear visible metalized side called Therma-Flec, that would be the side you use to pick up your hot or cold items with, and you can cover the other side of batting with cotton fabric.
