I do the top first. place board near edge of table, fold top over and smooth in place. then holding, flip board over again and smooth. keep going until in middle of table. spray long sections as you go along toward you and flipping board.i tend to press the board a bit with my hands as i go. when done with that, pull that section off of tables if necessary. then go to the other side and flip over and over. then spray and flip toward you again as you go. then i do the sides if it is a big quilt. works well. my back doesn't like it but then it doesn't like it when i use fusible either!
my board is a six foot flat baseboard from the hardware store.
