batting bearding
I have a midnight blue backing on the quilt I am finishing and in some places there are little white spots of batting poking through the needle holes. I blame myself for not putting in a new needle before longarming it. Anyone have a tip on how to make it look better? It is a gift for my neice and really doesn't look that bad, I just would prefer it not have the spots. I used warm and white batting. Any ideas how to fix it?

I have not washed it yet. I was debating washing it before giving it to her. The wedding shower is on Sunday. Will a King size quilt fit in a regular washer or would I have to take it to the laundromat? I usually give the quilts unwashed and let the recipient deal with it!

When I had that happen I poked each bit back inside. I think I used a dull machine needle. I think another thing which can contrubute to that happening is putting the batting in the quilt upside down. If there is a rough and smooth surface to the batting, the rough side should face the quilt top.
