Please be aware it is very flammable. The chemical processes for turning bamboo fiber or any plant fiber into a batting is the creation of rayon from the cellulose. Calling it ecofriendly is a deliberate misnomer by the batting companies, and does sound better than calling it rayon batting. The rayon is blended with other fibers for durability. It can be very soft and drapes beautifully, but some quilters in my Guild say it beards through the fabric horribly. HMK- I wonder if it is coming through your fabric?
