I want to line some mittens with the thinnest thermal fabric and I am considering thinsulate. It there a reason why thinsulate is recommended as an interlining, placement between lining and fabric? I would like to use it as a stand alone lining against the fabric without another lining.

Seattle Fabrics has a pre-quilted thinsulate that has the lining attached, That would save you from having to use both. you can buy a sample pack and look at it.

To answer your question, I would think it's because it's considered a batting. Juno

A lot of thinsulate is just batting -- highly specialised batting, to be sure -- but it's not coated or covered or finished on either surface, and is thus not appropriate for use as a mitten liner without some sort of covering. You can find thinsulate that's quilted or bonded to a lining material, and you could use that for your lining.
