Yes and no. Yes, that is another option for attaching batting when doing an upholstery project. No, you can't staple the batting and the fabric at the same time. If you would prefer to wrap and staple the batting, follow the instructions in the "Attaching the fabric" section to attach the batting, then follow them a second time to attach the fabric. If you try to attach both at the same you can end up with weird, uneven wrinkles and bunches in both the batting and the fabric. I generally prefer the spray adhesive method because I find it simpler, and I don't usually need the very bottom edge of the plywood to be cushioned for any reason. Plus, if you plan to permanently attach the cushion to the bench with screws, it helps not to have any extra bulk underneath the plywood. But I do use the stapling method when upholstering something with thinner foam that doesn't have "sides" to adhere to, or for projects where the bottom edges of the cushion are visible and I want them rounded and pretty.
