I am wondering if it could be the quality of the fabric she pieced with. Some fabric has a lot less stitches per inch and, maybe, that could promote bearding. I don't know what you would do if that is the case.
i agree that it is the fabric. I made a Christmas quilt with fabric from a good manufacturer and it bearded. Upon close inspection, i realized that the cause was the looser weave and the dark green print fabric. I just ignore it. Use a sticky roller to it.
