I use Sullivan's with just a light spray to the batting, add the backing. Then I smooth it with the edge of a ruler, spray other side of batting and add the top. Smooth with the ruler. I never have any problem. I make lots of Mini Quilts this way. Oh I do this in the garage with the door up. Ask me why? Because I got it on my hardwood floors and DH had a fit. He bought me some saw horses and a piece of plywood for our third garage stall. Whata guy!
