The scrim foam is used on the back of you material to help "fill out" the cover and make it fit a little tighter without having to actually making your pattern tighter. It basically makes your material stretch a little bit so the cover doesn't look loose or baggy. It will also help hide any imperfections in the foam underneath. When I am going to top stitch something that has scrim foam backing I will sew up the seam, then trim the scrim foam back close to the stitch in the seam allowance. This will reduce most of the bulk that will be under your top stitch and make it look a lot nicer and be much easier to handle while you do the top stitch. Its a little extra work but totally worthwhile.
