Check your thread tension. You may also be using the wrong kind of needle.

Quilted fabric is an insulator (it does not conduct heat, thus keeps you hands cool). However, oven gloves usually use a special kind of quilted fabric, specifically desigened for use with hot items. Quilting is a sewing technique - decoratively sewing 'wadding' fabric between two layers of outer fabric.
If the fabric you are sewing keeps getting caught in the sewing machine feeder (or "eaten by the sewing machine"), after you cut it out, I would suggest taking a few preventative measures:When you are sewing narrow seams, keep the speed very low. Don't press on the pedal too hard, and don't try to sew too quickly.If you have a serger, serge your fabric edges first. This will reinforce the edges, and keep stray threads from getting caught in the feeder.If you don't have a serger, trim the edges, and make sure there aren't any loose fabric threads that could get caught in the feeder.Iron your fabric. This will keep it from crinkling up and catching in the feeders.If you can, move your needle as far to the right as possible. This will allow you to sew with the entire presser foot on the fabric, which will stabilize it.
It keeps your fabric flat and away from all the mechanical parts of the machine that could damage your fabric. Also, many throat plates have measurement lines on them, and those help you to create consistent measurement seams and hems.
Well plastic keeps your fabric waterproof if thats what you mean?
Well, when you are sewing and want to stop sewing the cloth, you simply let go of the pedal. There is also the presser foot, which holds down the cloth and keeps it steady as you sew. Not sure if this is what you were looking for, but if it was, i :)
Even application of duct tape keeps them not only together but balenced.
The thread guide keeps the thread going straight in one direction.

It keeps thins out of site and can help organize them.
Mesh I think. It would be my choice because it keeps you cool and absorbs sweat. ;)
