You are using either a 70/10 needle ( which is very small for quilting but fine for piecing) or a 90/14, there is no 90/10. The numbers are for 2 different needle systems but the sizes remain the same. The larger the number the larger the needle.
Just to make life more interesting, for HAND sewing needles, the larger the number, the finer/thinner the needle. |

Sometimes there are also brown flecks on one side, and that is the side which goes up against the quilt top. If there is a scrim layer, it goes down against the backing. The purpose of that layer is to prevent bearding through to the back. |
I had that happen and I called the company. They told me there is a right and wrong side.
If you put the wrong side up it will punch through. So it has to be bumpy side up, against the top and smooth (scrim) side down, against the backing. And no, mine never went away. looks like others had answered also. |
Thanks for the answers to right/wrong side of Warm and Natural. I wonder how many of my quilts I have done it wrong in? I will do it correctly from now on though, so, again, thanks!!

I've never had any problems withany of the Warm Products.
Did you call their customer service? |
What is scrim? That is a new term to me.
|
Scrim is a very light layer, almost like fine interfacing. It's a non-woven fabric and it helps prevent boarding. You can feel the difference and see it also.
