Not sure if I am posting in the right spot here, sorry if it is wrong, I was wondering if the cutees could let me know if they would put batting in placemats and mug mats, I have looked at tutorials and they seem to do both, what is the best method ? with or without? I appreciate your opinions. Thanks in advance for your suggestions and advise

I've used wadding (I'm in UK!) sometimes, or BUMP curtain interlining, which I really like. I have also made them with a removable piece of plastic table protector. They offer the most insulation and it can be removed for washing.

I love the BUMP curtain lining and use it for lots of things. Its cheap but thick enough to act as padding and is easy to cut and sew and great for quilting
We should start a fan club!
....I am not familiar with BUMP...anyone know what they call it in the States?
wasn't sure what BUMP was, so looked it up on EBAY! found it, will go see if we have similar here in OZ. thanks

I put in a layer of thin batting because I hate the clinking and clunking of plates hitting the table. I think it is what you like, so feel free to do what feels good and right to you.

Yes I feel that there should be something as I too hate hearing the clunking of the plates on the table, thin batting sounds the go... thanks

Lots of choices for what to sandwich in between...but I generally use batting...sometimes along with other things...vinyl on either side will help to make it more wet resist too...I saw Sue's post below...going to investigate BUMP...

seems like its batting as the preferred material. Thanks

I use batting also. Thought about trying PLU (may have those letters mixed up) fabric from JoAnn Fabrics to keep moisture from soaking through. They use it for baby bibs and changing cloths.

I do not like thick placemats or mug rugs, so mine have some leftovers of white/cream cotton interlock or felt in them. I did use red felt once, as it complimented the outside very well.
I always have white/cream cotton interlock on hand as I use it in making lingerie.
I have no clunking crockery on the table.
