I always iron my quilt sandwich after basting with 505. It sets the spray and gives you an opportunity to ensure the layers do not have any trouble spots where tucks might happen. It's still repositional and effective after ironing. I iron from the top first and from the center of the quilt outward, so if there is an excess to cause a pucker or pleat you can work it to the outer edges, lift and correct the layer. Then repeat on the back. This was recommended by Ann Petersen in her Craftsy class, and since I've never had a pucker or pleat after quilting, I have to think it works pretty well! I have also never had a problem with adhesive build up or even depositing slightly on the machine needle with either 505 or Hobbs fusible 80/20 batting. I, personally, would not recommend the fusible batting for anything larger than a single bed size quilt as it is a bit difficult to work with on large areas getting it to lay smoothly and you must press it with an iron to activate the adhesive. It's great for small projects!
