So I hope I'm ok! I had no idea batting had a right and wrong side, but I don't really know what good that knowledge would do for anyone anyway. You don't want it to happen on either side of a quilt! That's such a bummer though for your quilt. And, I was excited to see the new comment form!I'm Feelin' Craftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02756020534630750335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703345404636516654.post-52197734654275210112015-01-30T15:00:56.866-08:002015-01-30T15:00:56.866-08:00Very interesting about the wool batting...I've...Very interesting about the wool batting...I've never tried it.

I have never had any gearing, and I quilt very densely on a show quilt. The problem you describe may be due to a burr on your needle pulling a bit of the wool through when stitching. I use a mid size, sharp needle for quilting.(Groz beckert 18) For a domestic needle, I would use an 80. I hope you'll try wool again. It doesn't crease with multiple folding and un folding, has a nice loft, and is drapey and warm. I love it!WAZOO!

It has been washed a couple times and is about 1 year old. I don't see any bearding yet. The quilt top is a scrappy mix of lights, darks & mediums and I think I pressed most of the seams open. The back is a cream & black Denyse Schmidt fabric from Chicopee I think. <br /><br />The only negative was the FMQ stippling on my machine was more difficult for me since the batting was more poufy than the flatter cotton batting I'm used to. I plan to use Dream Wool again because it is so much softer and drapes around you so nicely. I love my cotton batted quilts but they tend to 'peak' more if you know what I mean!Janet Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03563734063055044859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703345404636516654.post-21171027503997351752015-01-30T05:28:12.390-08:002015-01-30T05:28:12.390-08:00Good to know there is a fix for the comment stuff,...Good to know there is a fix for the comment stuff, it means that I have less time for commenting generally.

Not any real solutions, it seems... I checked my wool quilts out, and they are all made with Kona cottons... do you think that the heaviness may be the reason that mine don't/havent bearded yet? Hmmm. Mine do get washed on whatever temp the fam is using, so they get pretty brutal washing and drying. I wish I could make your problem disappear! <br />On to Marsala! I, personally, dont think it's that bad, and should make a great accent fabric. Although I like your method of showcasing it! You know how bacon is near and dear to my heart!
