I use June Tailor and my walls.
1. Use push pins to hold the backing first, pin all (4) corners well on backing and align, then put a few more pins on the sides for extra support.,
2. Next stick your finished quilt top onto the backing first and pin with your Push pins again and draw the lines of the quilt top onto the backing with CHALK.
Remove the quilt top and Push Pins, spray lightly, then get your batting ready and try to fit the batting into the square you just drew out with the CHALK. Once your batting is smoothed onto your drawn square, (and it does not have to be precisely on that "square".....) have a little extra room on all sides for shifting/grabbing as you quilt it on your machine
3. Next and last, spray the top batting and add your quilt top carefully and smoothly, remove the push pins holding the backing against the wall, and take to your machine or take a small break and meditate on doing a wonderful job.
You will have less puckers and wrinkles.
When you're quilting it next, you will not have to worry on basting threads, safety pins, or whatever used to hold the layers together.
This is my successful way of sandwiching the backing, batting, and quilt top.
The spray (June Tailor) works great if you're batting is cotton, it also works on the Wal-mart batting 80/20.
The 80/20 batting from Walmart is pretty good and the price is affordable.
Hope this helps some!
