I just received this info from the Batty Lady. Hope this helps. I guess I will look more closely from now on. :roll:
Yes - there is a right and wrong side to most battings. In the case of a
needlepunched batting the top is the side that the holes are poked. The
back has little bumps or "Slubs and Nubs". On most battings you can feel
the difference - the top will be smooth feeling and the back will have
lumps and bumps or feel not as smooth. It will not ruin your quilt if you
have the batting facing back up to top. I it does make it easier to quilt
if you have the quilt top, batting top facing the back of the top and then
the backing because you will be going the same direction as the needle was
punched through a needlepunched batting.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
