I did once and the batting was so stiff, I never tried again. I will say however, it did stick well. I believe it was June Taylor batting. I now use only 505. It is a little more expensive, but I think it requires less spray and it really sticks. I try to use my picnic table during the good weather and just put a sheet down to protect the table. It is much wider than my dining table. As long as the table is wide enough, I don't worry about the length of the table. I just start with the center portion of the quilt and spray only an 18 inch section of the batting at a time, then smooth the fabric with my hands so there are no wrinkles. I then move the quilt to spray the next section. I start with the front of the quilt, then do the back of the quilt, then turn back over to smoothe out any wrinkles in the top again. It has worked well for me that way. I don't do large quilts, so it may be harder doing a larger one.
