I was confused at first and was a bit reluctant to actually get started... took me three days to take the plunge, but once I'd tried it, it's a great way to sandwich a quilt together. I just wish I could remember which thread I read this idea from.
Yes, the batting goes down first as it does stick to the carpet a little, so no tape needed here. Then lay the backing into position with the wrong side down facing the batting, lift up half and spray, turn over and repeat.
For the first time ever, I didn't use any tape, pins or basting and the whole job (not including the ironing) was done it about 30mins.
