There are those that say that when the item is densely quilted, the batting will keep the pieces stable. I don't know if it does or not - I have not personally tested it.
One can stretch fabric when it is wet - I do it with my Big Board cloth cover every time I was it - in fact, I put it back on when it is quite damp - when I totally dry it in the dryer, it is about two inches too short to go on.
