Thank you for your thoughts. I guess I will try some tape.
feline fanatic: I will have to look at it again to see about your bearding thoughts. I don't believe I have ever experienced a bearding problem - at least not like this. (one time I had balls of batting in the dryer after I washed a quilt)
yes it is a tshirt quilt, but they were interfaced. its not happening on every shirt. Just a couple of the shirts - but a couple spots on those 2.
As far as using the 505 spray, I ordered some tear away quilting designs that said to do that in the instructions. (tear away quilting elementz) this video shows these instructions

in the comments the lady says you can do this before or after the quilt layers are together. But I did also use tissue paper because other articles discussed using that
I guess live and learn. I will do the best that I can with this one now
