I use 505 Spray and the Sharon Schamber "board basting" method. Lots of info and videos online. I never do extremely large quilts, so I can make do with 8 feet long boards. In this particular case, you'd need very long boards! However, might be worth considering for smaller projects. I have a long table in the basement to accommodate my 8 feet boards.

When I get folds in the back that can't be eased out, I go ahead and quilt it with the folds. Once quilted, I go back and whip stitch down the folds in matching thread. Then they don't act like toe catchers. On a large quilt, they seem to disappear.

Start over. Tape the backing down taut to the floor. Very important step. It will avoid ALL wrinkles. Then lay the batting on top, half at a time, or a quarter of it at a time. Spray baste. Smooth very well. Then lay the the quilt top, spray baste. a quarter or half at a time. SMOOTH very well. This should correct the problem. just work in small sections. good luck. You CAN do it.

I think it depends on just how much you love the quilt. If this is a "keep forever" quilt, I'd pull it off the batting that stuck to the top, smooth out the wrinkles, and put a new batting on. Start on a small area to see what the results would look like. If it solves the problem, This would take some effort, but might be worth it.
