For spray basting I lay the batting on the backing, then fold the batting back halfway, spray either batting or backing (your preference) then starting from the middle where the batting is folded back carefully lay batting back down a little at a time, smoothing as I go until I get to the edges. Repeat for other half. Then lay top on and do same thing.

Never had problems with puckers doing it this way.

I just recently sandwiched a baby quilt for our new grand baby girl. I also tried this method and it worked out just fine.
