Just wondering if any residue from the spray or glue is picked up or gets stuck on the needle when quilting
I glue baste all my quilts with Elmer's glue and have never had any problems with getting it on the needle. And I always stitch in the ditch - as Cindy Needham says - ESS (every stinking seam) before doing any FMQ. I do my ESSing free motion and not with a walking foot and have no problems with shifting. There is a video on youtube - search for "glue baste a quilt" and one comes up by Slightly Off Quilter (or something like that). She explains how to dilute the glue and spray it. Very affordable and easy!
