I don't use the ironing board to put it together. I lay it out on the floor, not on a high nap rug, and iron it there. I have never tried to sew through it. I use June Tailor brand. I did buy some fuseable cotton batt from them. It would not bond. Sent them an E about it and they sent me a new one, it was fine. I do queen size quilts.

I took a quilting class a couple of weeks ago and we were talking about basting the quilt. I have always spray basted mine as I didn't want to take the time to hand baste or pin. The instructor said that she just puts her ironed backing on a table and STEAM BASTES her batting with her iron to it and then does the same to the top. She said just the steam will hold it and you don't need the spray. I haven't tried it yet, but it's worth a try.
