I usually use an 80/20% batting, but I'm making a new quilt for a cancer patient and decided to go with an all natural batting. I've spent the last month sneezing my head off (perhaps my allergy ridden body hates all that all natural stuff), and the whole quilt is bearding. Is there any way to stop this or will it stop after a few washings? I had it with a few quilts that I made with sneeze-inducing W&N a few years back, but I can't remember anything I learned then, lol.

There is a right and wrong side to W&N batting. I just remember that
the smooth side should be down.

Pinkiris

When you say "down", do you mean smooth side facing the front of the quilt or the back of the quilt? I know I've heard before, but just can't lock my brain around it!

Here you go!

Auntpiggylpn has already replied. Just think which side you want against your skin.
Rough side up and smooth side down. Makes sense?

What is bearding?

Thank you for this information. We will all need to label our battings when we send them to the longarmers as to which side goes up

Akweiland

Great info...I bookmarked it for furture reference.

I have never sent a quilt to a longarmer but shouldn't they know if they are professionals?

JustAbitCrazy

Yes, they know, believe me, they know!
