How big is your quilt and what shape are your knees in?
More than one quilt expert has said to spray the back of the pieced top and spray the wrong side of the backing. To never spray the batting.
I've tried this and it works. I go out to the deck and fold my top or back in half (wrong side out) and spread it out on the rail and give it a light spraying.
I then spread my batting on the floor and make sure it smooth. Then place the pieced top on it and spread it out smooth - I have to lift and shift a few times. Then I flip it and spread the backing on it. Smooth it out. This last time I did not pin but usually I will put a few around the edges just for piece of mind. Then I flip it again to make sure the top is still smooth.
Best of luck to whatever method you use.
