while the wool bat may have made for a little more poofiness, it won't cause looseness of the backing.sometimes when I'm rolling back and forth often and the backing is something that isn't very tightly woven, it seems to maybe stretch the backing some--I've found this especially true on cotton sateen widebacks.
