Sounds very much like my fav Hobbs Thermore - good to know JoAnn has something similar I can try so thanks for this info!

l agree with Geri...l've used thermalon for years in placemats as well. Just to be on the safe side, l give the project a firm pressing with iron set to cotton. This "sets" the edges ( if l've knife edged instead of binding), and leaves a nice level surface for standing things on... yet the quilting shows. The added bonus is it helps protect the table from warm ( not baking hot!) platters & such.

Which is why I soak my W&N in hot water before using it. I also prefer a flat look.

Have you washed the finished runner? sometimes washing and tumble drying will soften it up a little.

I use the cotton batting that I use for my quilts and all my placemats and table runners turn out nice.

I have used a mixture of batting, must try the thermal or iron on to see if they make flatter runners or coasters.
