I am quilting a baby quilt that I used spray baste on to hold the layers together. I had no problem quilting most of the quilt until my needle broke and I started using a smaller needle with a smaller eye. The needle's eye kept gumming up from the spray baste, which would eventually fray the thread and break the thread. After breaking the thread three times, I switched to a larger needle with a larger eye and finished the quilt successfully. Has this ever happened to anyone else? It was frustrating, but a good lesson.
