warm & natural bating ? quick!
I have a quick ? need a quick answer. Which side of W&N goes to the top or which goes to the backing or does it matter? I'm having a senior moment.
Thank in advance.

The seed side should generally face up because then you will be quilting in the same direction that it was needle punched, making quilting easier. Sometimes, though, when people know that the quilt will be used as a play mat, they put the seed (cotton) side down & the scrim side up. The reason for this is the scrim side is the tougher side & is meant to be the side that gets the most wear & tear. On a regular bed quilt, that's the back side. On a play mat, that would be the top. Personally, I always make them with the seed side up & haven't had any complaints yet but everyone is different.

It is more of a problem for longarmers than for people who quilt on DSM. If loaded upside down the large LA needle pokes through nubs of batting as well. I have had this happen to me on my LA when I accidentally loaded it upside down. I flipped it and no problems. So yes it makes a difference but pretty much only to longarmers whose LA takes the large industrial sized needles..

I have never like W&N because all the stuff that is STILL in their batting. This is what they have officially posted on their website:

I use Hobbs 80/20 batting by the roll.
