I'm lazy!
I didn't press my fabrics before I glued it down. So I spread glue, sprayed starch and pressed it once. That way, I totally covered the quilt and batting with glue/starch but there is no heavy glue build up. It stiffens the fabric and makes it "slick", makes it easier for me to control while I'm FMQ.
I've used starch and no glue (a few pins) for the same reasons. It's an affordable, watered down, spray version of the glue. YMMV.
