I was in Joann's with a friend and was looking for Elmer's washable glue to attempt basting a trial quit sandwich to attempt machine quilting. A lady out of no where sort of came out of nowhere telling me I was going to destroy my machine. And that's not the way to do basting. She also told me I'm going to ruin needles, needle housing and basically the whole machine.

So my question is... Will it damage any part of the machine? I have searched about basting with Elmer's but was wondering if someone could give me an explanation. I can write done in my quilting journal. I appreciate any feedback. I don't want to damage my machine.
