I will be doing a quilt with a dark front and a light back. I'd rather not use dark batting, but I don't want any bearding on the front.

Does bearding happen on the front, from the needle pulling UP the batting or on the back from the needle pushing Down the batting or both? I am using a batik on the front and a cotton on the back, if that makes a difference.

Do you get bearding on your dark quilts? Am I worrying for no reason?
