I have tried spraying it with 505 and without. My tension is okay. I have used both a walking foot and a plain one.
I just finished a large quilt for my grandson using flannel on the top, thin polyester for the batting, and a high grade fleece for the back. I pinned it heavily, every two-three inches, and quilted it lightly. It worked very well using the walking foot.
