While searching for online help for a student anzious to move on to the next step ....I found this video for layering the quilt sandwich....rudimentary but enough to get you started...
Very useful, thank you!
Does anyone use the spray adhesive that she mentions to secure the layers together? I can see that it might ne useful in a wall hanging that isn't going to be slept on/under, but I would be worried about the glue in bedding. morag
it washes out, but I've found that it's difficult to deal with over a larger area and can cause either the fabric or batting to crinkle slightly

I use basting spray almost exclusively. The one I use is Spray and Fix 505, which is basically odorless, but I do do my spray basting outside. It washes out. By using the spray I don't have to worry about pleats and such because you are temporarily adhering the fabric to the batting.

I hope you guys aren't using that alleged bamboo batting to save the environment and then using the adhesive for basting.

I use it most times. Especially for larger projects. I always wash my quilts before they are used though. There doesnt seem to be antyresidue left afterwards.
