I use this all the time, however!!!! I always put the actual fabric coating turned over and it lays on the batting. I have had no problems with it. But, when I saw that the flowers/strips/stars/circles.....whatever, I turned the fabric over and have had no problems with it now. I can see that it could be scratched or wiped off if it was put on the outside so that is how I create that white on white. So far, no problems yet.
