Just hoop your stabilizer and fabric together taut and unless you have a very slippery fabric, you should have absolutely no problems. We seldom use spray and I know it would be too costly and time consuming for the big companies to use it. We do use a good hooping system (Hoop Master), however, which, I think, is a must. However, there are many who hoop flat on the table too and have great results.
