If it is in just a few spots, instead of pulling on them, take a pin and insert it into the back a little ways away from the batting tuft. Sweep the pin from left to right pulling the little white piece back inside the sandwich. Run your nail over the needle holes to close them up and proceed to the next spot.

WOW! I have a lot of things to try to fix the back of my quilt...

peckish the steam thing sounds good too
quiltstringz if everything does not work the marker would be a good thing too

When a batting has a scrim, you typically want to place the scrim on the opposite side from the needle entry, so you are needling in the same direction as the scrim was needlepunched. Almost any batting can beard under certain conditions. A batting with scrim will be less likely to beard if the scrim is the last thing the needle goes through.
Clear as mud, probably...... There are some informative old threads on the QB about bearding. You might want to run a search. You can also Google quilt bearding to find additional info about the problem and how you can prevent it in the future.
