I made a baby quilt using navy color fabric for the background. Bearding was terrible. It was like a film on the quilt not just at the stitches. It was the first time I had ever heard of bearding too. To me it ruined the quilt. I tried everything before giving it to the baby. I told the mother to use it as a utility quilt. I made another one for the baby's first birthday. I've never had it happen using Warm and Natural though. Does scrim stop bearding?
