I used a white batting and black Aurifil in the bobbin...the backing fabric is a Northcott , RoGregg design and a good tight weave so have not had any bearding problem....quilted it on a Singer 301A that has a great stitch so the black thread stayed on the back and the white thread stayed on the front....hope this helps
