I'm not quite sure I'm understanding the technique of the batting...but anyway, when you iron embroidery you need to do it from the back. Put a thick fluffy towel on your ironing board, then lay your embroidery face down and press gently, use a pressing cloth if necessary and that will prevent your work from flattening.

When doing red work or other embroidery work by hand I back it with pellon (or batting). I press from the back, if i don't want to place the iron on the pellon, I use either a pressing cloth or applique sheet.
