The case for the scrim going down suggests the strongest part of the batting should go where there will be the most wear on the quilt. There is an argument to be made that the bumps could interfere with the needle while quilting but I’ve never experienced that.
I only once placed the W&N with the scrim down against the backing fabric. There was so much bearding and that quilt still looks awful. One day I will take the binding off and rip the quilting out and put the batting in there properly. Maybe it's only Warm & Natural, but when the label says scrim side up, they mean it. This was on a longarm. I do not know if the same thing would happen on a regular sewing machine.
