I bought R-38 faced battsMy attic has very, very little existing blown in insulation in between the joistsHow do I lay the batts over the blown in insulation? With the paper face down or up? I live in chicago and my house is coldI don't want to add more blow in insulationCan I even do it this way because of the existing blow in insulation- as far as moisture getting in between the blow in and the new batts if the paper is faced down?

Take the roll insulation right back to Lowes or Home Depot where you bought itDont do such a thing, its a hodge podge and you will devalue your house doing such a thing The blown in insulation far surpasses batt installation between joists or which ever method you might think of using itThat is because of so called fill in the spacethe blown in gets into these voids and does a job that is 1000% better than batts And in particular, you trying to install those batts atop already installed blown inI too, live in Chicago, Go to Lowes or Menards and buy the bag insulation for blown inThe blower at Menards and Lowes is for FREE if you buy I think like 10 bags of the stuff The second thing you should consider is a reflective foil placed right over the blown in insulationThat is available in 10 foot wide rolls for about 15 cents a square footI bought mine from the manufacture in Texas, shipped for free What the foil does is in winter, it reflects back the high energy rays of heat that continuouly penetrate the insulation directly back into the houseAnd in the summer, it reflects the energy rays back into the attic, keeping the insulation cool underneath This is space age technology for pennies and worth doing.
