    I love the feel of quilts done with quilt batting, but I am having problems when it comes to spraying and smoothing the quilt. When I get one side smooth, I turn it over to look at the other side and it is wrinkled. Any Suggestions?? I would appreciate any ideas

    Try taping or pinning your backing to the floor. You want it smoothed out with a little tension, not streched.

    I agree, if you don't start out with the backing all taut and smooth, it is near impossible to get the sandwich wrinkle free :D:D:D
