I use June Taylor all the time, so far for 120+ quilts and have never had the problems you explained. My first thought when reading your post was that you sprayed too heavily. Also, when layering, I use a different technique. I cover my bed with a large flannel sheet, smooth the back down, arrange the batting on top then fold back half of it and spray it sparingly, then carefully smooth it back down and repeat the process for the other half. Then arrange the quilt top on the batting and repeat the fold back, spray, and smooth down process. The trick is to spray sparingly and give it a few minutes to set up. Some fabrics take to the spray better than others and you can always lift the layers and squirt a bit more if needed. Give it another try on a small project. It is such a back/knee/time saver and so worth the effort.
