Insul-Bright® Insulating Thermal Lining – 45" x 1 Yard
Add effective thermal insulation to pot holders, oven mitts, casserole covers, lunch bags, and other temperature-sensitive sewing projects with Insul-Bright® Insulating Thermal Lining. This needle-punched insulating material combines polyester fibers with a reflective metalized polyester film to help manage both hot and cold temperatures.
The polyester fibers help resist conductive heat transfer, while the reflective metalized film reflects radiant energy—hot or cold—back toward its source. This combination makes Insul-Bright® a versatile thermal lining for practical home sewing, quilting, insulated accessories, and handmade gifts.
Insul-Bright® is easy to sew through, breathable, and designed to withstand washing without breaking down. It does not shrink and, once quilted into a finished project, can be machine washed and dried.
For projects involving hot items, the manufacturer recommends using cotton batting with Insul-Bright® to help absorb steam vapor. Insul-Bright® itself is breathable, which means steam vapor can pass through the material. Adding cotton batting provides an absorbent layer for projects such as oven mitts, pot holders, casserole cozies, tea cozies, table runners, and placemats.
This package contains 1 yard of 45"-wide Insul-Bright®, providing a convenient amount for a variety of insulated sewing and quilting projects.

Do I need cotton batting with Insul-Bright® for pot holders and oven mitts?
For hot projects, the manufacturer recommends using cotton batting with Insul-Bright® to help absorb steam vapor. Because Insul-Bright® is breathable, steam can pass through it, while cotton batting provides an absorbent layer.
