Beds are great for spray basting. I have a king and I cover it with a big flannel sheet, covering as much of the head board as possible to protect from over spray. The quilt actually stays in place real well on the flannel. I position the batting on the backing, fold back half the batting, spray it & reposition it, fold back other half, spray & reposition again. Then position the quilt top and repeat the fold back, spray, reposition. Viola, beautifully layered quilt in no time. I mostly use June Taylor with no problem. Start with spraying lightly and giving it a few minutes to dry, seems to help with the tackiness. Directing the spray toward the center when spraying close to the edges helps with over spray. I never use poly batting, either warm & natural or wool. Wool LOVES spray basting.
