LOL! After dealing with the spray, you get a healthy respect for it. I remember having batting all over my feet. I then decided to sacrifice a pair of socks as my "Quilting socks". When I do my basting, I put all the layers together then I pull one layer back 1/2 way and spray the the other 1/2. smooth it out the do the same to the nexy ;ayer. Then I turn the backing side up and smooth it out. I'm sure everyone does it differently. : )
