The problem may be with the brand of basting spray you are using. I never had this problem with 505. You do need to use a light hand with the spray; if the basting spray is applied too heavily, it may create problems. Also, the spray needs to dry before you start quilting. With 505 I left it for 4 hours or more. Some people iron their quilts after spraying, and this would probably accelerate drying.
