Chances are it won't wash out. You can try switching to a new, sharper needle like a top stitch or quilting needle but it may not solve your problem. You don't say if you are quilting on home machine or LA. If LA, I would recommend cutting the batting and flipping it over. But if you are quilting on a basted quilt it hardly seems worth the effort.

Google right side up on warm and natural batting and you find blogs that tell you which side is up with photos.

I did not know this either about Warm & Natural and that is what I always use. Thank you so much for this info.

Wow did I just learn something new! Thank you friends!

Try a microtex needle ... they're my fav's ... they are very sharp, so when it goes through your quilt it should go through easily, and won't catch any fibers. Good luck!!

I didn't know there was a wrong and right side to batting either. Thank you for another great tip!!!

Wow! I didn't know about the warm and natural. Most of what I do are wall hangings but I will pay attention to the right and wrong side of the batting from now on. Thanks!

I would think the needle might be a bit dull. A new one should help stop that.

It may be a dull needle.
