What fabric is used for potholders?
cotton
Popular fabric for pot holders is the cotton you find in the quilting fabrics. Make sure it is 100% cotton (no synthetic fibers that can melt). Other plant-based fibers such as linen or hemp will work but they are more expensive and do not come in all the fun patterns you can find in the cottons.
What do you line potholders with?
Lay your backing with right side down, then place 2 layers of the insulating batting (or cotton batting) on top of that. Then, place the potholder top side with right side up. Fix using safety pins or spray baste the layers together. You can use Odif 505 to do so, for me this is the easiest way to prevent shifting.
What is the average size of a potholder?
The most common type commercially available nowadays has the form of a square, with a side length varying from 5 inches (13 cm) to 10 inches (25 cm) and slightly rounded corners, and a textile loop at one of the corners for hanging.

Is 100 cotton fire resistant?
No, There is a common perception that untreated 100% cotton fabric is somehow “flame-resistant”. This is simply not true. While heavyweight untreated 100% cotton fabrics may be more difficult to ignite, they can and will ignite and continue to burn if exposed to an ignition source.
