  1. I just completed two quilts with solid navy backing and used Hobbs 80/20 batting, and encountered the same problem. When I took the quilt off the LA table I freaked out to see all the pokies!  Very disheartening.      Those backings were made from 45" wide Kona Fabric.  After consulting with other quilters, the general consensus was a thinly woven backing.  It was recommended to me to dot each pokies with a navy permanent marker, which I eventually did.   Also recommended was to use a smaller needle.
    I'm currently working on another customer's quilt, again using Hobbs 80/20 and not having that problem.
