if you cut a little piece off of it and try rubbing a hole in it the cotton will pull away from the scrim. It is easier to do if your finger is damp. I don't really know what the scrim is there for all I know is if its not on the outside when I do quilts this way the batting falls apart, obviously!
I am sorry for all the confusion my quilting method has caused.
You all will be happy to know that I do quilts without plush backings the "traditional" way! lol
Actually I was thinking it was a pretty neat way to do it. I don't always like all the quilting on the back either.
