Default Why is my batting being pulled to the top?

When I free motion quilt I'm noticing that a fair amount of batting fibers are being pulled to the top of my quilt.

This was very apparent when I had warm and natural batting with black fabric on the top. Even though I was using black thread there was still a lot of little white fuzz that was visible on my quilt top. I tried using a lint roller to remove it but found that I wasnt able to because some of the fibers had only been partially pulled up. (versus pulled all the way through)........so this left my quilt top looking like the cat had sat on it.

Why is this happening does anyone know? Maybe it's something simple like i just need to change the needle?
