Arrange batting on backing, peel back half, spray lightly (can add more if needed), smooth batting down, repeat for other half. Arrange top on batting and repeat process, flip project over to double check for smoothness, let stand for a few minutes, and proceed with quilting or storage. Directing spray toward center of project helps with over spray. I have never starched or ironed while basting, just sprayed, and I don't add pins. I can now baste a king sized quilt (120x120) in less than an hour and it saves my back and knees!
