Chances are it won't wash out. You can try switching to a new, sharper needle like a top stitch or quilting needle but it may not solve your problem. You don't say if you are quilting on home machine or LA. If LA, I would recommend cutting the batting and flipping it over. But if you are quilting on a basted quilt it hardly seems worth the effort.

Google right side up on warm and natural batting and you find blogs that tell you which side is up with photos.
I did not know this either about Warm & Natural and that is what I always use. Thank you so much for this info.

Try a microtex needle ... they're my fav's ... they are very sharp, so when it goes through your quilt it should go through easily, and won't catch any fibers. Good luck!!

Wow! I didn't know about the warm and natural. Most of what I do are wall hangings but I will pay attention to the right and wrong side of the batting from now on. Thanks!

I would think the needle might be a bit dull. A new one should help stop that.
