After reading some of the replies, I really had no idea that there was a right and a wrong side to W&N batting, but then I have never had a problem like this one happen. Thank you for the excellent information, I will keep it in mind when I tackle my next quilt. I was also pleasantly surprised when JoAnn's replaced the entire yardage of the batting for new batting. Excellent customer service. It's wonderful that you had such great quilting friends to reverse-quilt your quilt. Quilting friends are definitely keepers.
