I can't have a quilt leave the studio if people won't be happy, and I don't think they'll be happy with lots of thread pokies!!
I've also had some issues with W&W and W&N when using dark backs. Sometimes the batting pokes through with the needle. While they will eventually sluff off, it looks horrible when returning to the customer. As I understand it, this is not unusual with those products. I have never had that problem with Quilter's Dream.
I have to agree. Quilters Dream is a great product. I have used it when shipping wasn't so high.
Have you tried using Black batting... I use that for my dark backings.
There appears to be an up and a down on batting. The outside of the folded batting should be down against the backing. This helps with the pokies.
