Has anyone ever done "sandwitching", this way?

IMHO the best to use is 505 spray ... I don't like the June Tailor brand.

Before I do this, I would like to know if this method works well and if any of you have done this?
Thanks in advance for your input.

The 505 holds it all together so there's no need for handbasting the sandwich.
And keeps it together as you quilt.

Starting in the center, spray a quarter of the quilt, smooth the batting, repeat with the other 3 corners. Flip it and do the same thing with the front. Easy as pie to get your entire quilt smooth and even
