How many bowl cozies will one yard make?

A standard bowl cozy uses two 10" squares of batting. A 45" x 36" yard yields twelve 10" squares, so about six cozies, or four if you cut the larger 12" size. Hot pads and potato bags use less.

Package, 22" roll or 90" bolt: which should I buy?

The 1-yard package covers one or two projects. The 22" x 10 yd roll is sized so 10" cozy squares cut two across with almost no waste. The 90" x 9 yd bolt is the lowest cost per square for production sewing.

Why can't I use regular cotton batting in the microwave?

Most cotton battings, including Pellon natural and white cotton with scrim and Warm & Natural, carry a polypropylene scrim, and blends and polyester battings are synthetic throughout. Synthetics can melt, scorch or ignite in a microwave. Wrap-N-Zap is 100% cotton with no scrim, so it is the safe choice for bowl cozies, hot pads and potato bags.

What thread and fabric should I use with Wrap-N-Zap?

100% cotton thread and 100% cotton fabric. Polyester thread and poly-blend fabric can melt in the microwave, and metallic prints are not safe. Check that your fabric has no synthetic content before you sew.

Is one layer enough for a hot pad or bowl cozy?

One layer of Wrap-N-Zap is the usual choice for a bowl cozy. For hot pads and casserole warmers that will handle hot dishes, many makers use two layers for extra insulation. Never use Insul-Bright or any metallic thermal batting in the microwave.

Do I need to pre-wash Wrap-N-Zap?

No. It shrinks 3-5% in the first wash, which is fine for cozies and hot pads; some makers pre-wash the fabric so both layers shrink together. Quilt or stitch within 4" so the batting stays put through washing.

Can I microwave a Wrap-N-Zap project empty?

No. Always have food in the bowl or bag. Microwaving an empty cotton project can scorch it. Follow your pattern's heating times and let the project cool before washing.

Pellon Wrap-N-Zap microwaveable cotton batting in a 45" x 1 yard package is the single-project size: enough for three or four bowl cozies, a set of hot pads or a potato bag. It is the batting to buy when you want to try microwave projects without a roll. Cozy makers who sell at craft fairs move up to the 22" x 10 yd roll or the 90" x 9 yd bolt.

Wrap-N-Zap is the only batting we sell that is made for the microwave. Because it is all natural cotton with no scrim, no polyester and no metallic content, it will not melt or spark. Use it to craft casserole warmers, hot pads, potato bags and oven mitts, or to steam vegetables and corn and warm buns, tortillas and rolls. The loft is a low 1/16", shrinkage is 3-5%, and the recommended maximum stitch distance is 4". Washable by hand or machine and dry cleanable. Sew it with 100% cotton thread and 100% cotton fabric so the whole project stays microwave-safe.

This package ships to you directly from Pellon.
