A big 'YES' to posts about right/wrong sides of batting and the new needle suggestions. Now, after the fact, when the quilting/binding is complete, wash the quilt, and before drying, lay it on a hard, flat surface, and shave it. Yes, use a disposable razor like you'd use to shave your legs, spread small areas with your hand so the fabric is rather taunt, and gently shave off the damp tufts of batting.
