Are you saying you sprayed your table top with the 505?
Yes ... it would be very tacky and totally counter-productive to FMQing movement. So, get that washed right off.

Agree with Prism ... wax your table top, if that's do-able.
Another option, there is a spray silicone that you can use to put some slippery-ness to the top. Careful you do not get any of that on a hard floor or else, you will go flying, all too easily. I use the silicone, and find that I clean my tabletop well with it before I start, and depending on the size of the project, will re-do it periodically.

Ditto again ... make sure you have a large table top or pull extra tables up to the back and/or side to help hold the quilt up, and the create puddles. Also, watch how much it rolls over the front of the table between you and the machine ... that can really create drag, fast!

In essence what you need to be aware of, and resolve is the drag created by the quilt's bulk and weight.
