Is it all over or just in a few places? A few places can be fixed by inserting a straight pin into the sandwich close to the beard and swishing the pin sideways to pull the beard back into the sandwich. If it is all over than one of the sweater de-fuzzers with the rotating blades may work. A sticky roller may just pull more of the batt fibers through rather than remove them. You will have to test to see which works best.

This is one reason that you have to be careful when pressing seams open. I agree with Tartan on her suggestions. Be careful with the sweater De-fuzzer because you wouldn't want and threads to be cut in the fabric.

Didn't someone post awhile back that batting had a right side and wrong side and which side to put facing the backing? Wish I had remembered that when I made a table topper last week. Had a bit of bearding, but since it was for me, I just let it go.

All of the years I used poly batting and only one bearded and I hated it doing that, was very annoying, kept trying to pick off the white hairs on it until I figured what it was, didn't like the quilt after that at all.
