I agree, I didn't know that there was a right and a wrong side to batting or wadding as we call it in Great Britain.

I have heard of this but I had forgotten. I don't use W&N or W&W. I Mostly use high loft polyester batting. Some does the bearding thing. Some have a finished side, sometimes it is hard to tell.

This life is the only one you get - enjoy it before you lose it.
As I understand it, the scrim is what they put on the batting so you can quilt every 2" or 4" or 8" and the batting won't wad up but will stay spread out throughout the quilt. I had not known that if you machine quilt from the side where the scrim is, it would poke out of the other side. So it makes sense which side you should have down. thanks for bringing this subject up.
I hadn't heard that. I need to look at my batting and see if I can tell the difference.
Hulalulu, that is a neat trick. I will definitely be remembering that one!
Thanks
bumpier side up - smooth side down - got it!
(Seems counter-intuitive, though)
