I agree that is depends on the amount you use. I swear by spray basting, I hate working with pins and thread basting is a pain too (at least for me). I always use as little spray as I can while still getting the layers to stick. I've never had a problem with gumming up. I also use a little rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball to wipe down my needle every once in a while, just in case...hope that helps...it's just my way :)
