I have been told that if you use Thermore that bearding won't happen. I have been using it in some baby quilts I have been making. The package says that it is Ultra -Thin so don't know if it comes in different thickness or not. I haven't used it with anything dark.

OH I have a catalogue here and looked Thermore up--it says no fiber migration. Oh well live and learn, eh?

I had some come thru on a miniature I made12 x18 so I rolled some duct tape the old silver stuff and went to it. It cleaned up quite well but may have pulled a little more out as I went, not sure though. But it did work.

I cut some batting on my olfa board and I got bearding on the board. LOL! I crack myself up sometimes.

I am sorry this happened to you after all of them money and time that must have gone in to the quilt. I wish I had a magic answer for you.

I've used Thermore for vests & jackets but never for an actual quilt. It's very thin so may work if you're not looking for warmth from your quilt.

I had my daughter's quilt long armed a short while ago and she used a light colored batting for a black and purple quilt. It now has pill dots all over it. Each time I wash it it gets worse. I never knew there was black batting. Any suggestions? I have been using a lint brush, but it's not working.

Scrim is a thin sheet of synthetic material that lends stability to the batt.

"Feel the batting to determine if the scrim is near the center of the layering, or closer to one side than the other. If you cannot tell, then it will make no difference which side of the batting is placed next to the quilt top.

If the scrim is closer to one side than the other, we recommend that this side be placed closest to the backing."

Won't help much this time but maybe next.
If you find something that works let me know, I have one of my husbands Tshirts I'll send to ya and let you shave it too. Some how it got tossed in the washer/dryer with a load of towels. Maybe he shouldn't do his own laundry no matter how BAD he needs the shirt.

I am so sorry this is happening to you now when you worked so hard to put the quilt in the show.
I did this many years ago, and it is the pits to find out what bearding is. Bless your heart.
