Wow! What a wonderful post. As a cooking love person, I really appreciate your article. Thanks a lot for your info. Keep going.
Those velvet potholders look pretty, but aren't very practical for a true foodie. The "stitched pillowing" you refer to is called quilting (this is a pretty common term, I'm not sure why you didn't use it?) and it helps keep the batting and insulating layers in place in potholders so you don't end up with a thin spot and burn your hands.
I'm a "true foodie" and I think they're great! Very practical - batting shift has been a non-issue. :)
