SAFETY INFORMATION

You will be handling hot objects with your potholders. Please follow the following safety precautions:

  • Thermal batting is an essential part of making a safe potholder. It is heat-resistant and helps protect you from burns. Do NOT use only quilt batting for your potholder, you must also have a layer of thermal batting. ONLY use cotton batting for your layer of regular batting.

  • Do NOT use any synthetic or polyster/poly-blend fabrics for your bias tape or potholder. They cannot handle the heat and will melt.
