505 is the name of the spray to buy for quilting. it is with the quilting section not the craft section. it is near our cutting table at our wal-mart.
the elmers is with the crafts near the paints, mod podge etc.

the spray basting sold at my local walmart works just fine for me, so i've never needed to try anything more expensive.
check any brand of spray adhesive to make sure it's intended to be temporary and wash out.
it sounds as though you bought a product intended to be a permanent spray-on glue.
if it doesn't have the word "basting" in the product name or somewhere on the can, it's probably not a good idea to use it as a basting spray.

I have some of that but not for sewing. I would stay as far away from my machine with that as I can get!! It remains tacky so would think it would gum up your machine big time. I use it in card making and covering boxes with fabric. I use the June Tailor from Walmart.

When I sewed my interior for my Hot Rod I used the 3M Adhesive Spray and that is as permanent as you can get.
I spayed both the vinyl and the foam stuck it together, then sprayed the foam and muslin and stuck it together like a sandwich. The muslin was there so the feed dogs would not chew up the foam.
I sewed the pleats up right after I glued it together and I never had an issue at all with the needles or machine.
Now I did use my 1911 Singer 27 in a treadle to sew the interior so I dont know if this has any bearing as to whether it would mess up the machine using that type of spray adhesive.

If you got the can in the craft dept. of walmart be careful. If it doesn't say quilting spray do not use!!! Why do I know,cause I used it. On the label it says for matrial,paper Etc. I almost ruined my Machine. I didn't think I would ever get it out. SUCH A MESS, I didn't take it to the shop but I really should have. DH helped me get the gummy,flaky mess out. I will never second guess that kind of spray again. The can has an orange lid and dark blue and orange on the can called Elmers Craft bond. it is not for quilting yes it does glue material but is NASTY!!!!
