Elaine433, thank you for this explanation I couldn't figure out how you were supposed to layer it with sticky stuff and not get a great big mess. This helped me a lot.

Smooth the quilt top over the batting and repeat for the other half of the quilt. After all is in place, we remove the masking tape and flip over to make sure the backing is smooth.
The best thing about the spray is it can be repositioned if you need to. It will not gum up the needle as long as you do
no spray too heavily. Learned this from experience. I buy it online when I am buying other things and find discounts. I pay approx. 12.00 a can. I can will do about 3-4 throw size quilts.
