I use Sullivan's in the pink can, it's great! I spray very lightly and do it in my basement. It doesn't choke me up and I don't get spray all over the place. I lay out the backing and put the batting over it, then fold it back in sections to spray the batting (not the fabric), and it works great. Then I put the top on and flip one side up, spray the batting, smooth it down, and spray the other side. On bigger quilts I do it in smaller sections at a time, working from the middle out.

I try and follow the directions on the cans - I spray in sections and have my ceiling on gentle so that the air is going down into the quilt. I have learned to spray the batting, do not spray the quilt fabric.

Was sceptic at first, but it works for me. Many of my fellow quilters use it too now.
Give it a try and see for yourself.
