Using basting spray adhesive
I used Sullivan's for the first time on a baby quilt I was layering. I wonder if I might have used too much. When I tried machine quilting, it would sew a few stitches and then skip an inch or so - the needle also has residue on it. Any suggestions or will I have to pull the batting out and dispose of it? I had heard nothing but praise for this method, now I'm sick.

Has it had time to dry? I have also heard that some iron the sandwich to set it up before quilting. If that doesn't work you can gently soak the sandwich in a sink or tub (no agitation) to separate the layers. Then lay the layers flat to dry before trying again.

Don't be sick. All is not lost. It sounds like it wasn't dry. Change your needle and try again. It should be ok. I have glue blasted many times and it always quilted fine. Like JeanneS said, if you need to , soak the quilt to separate. Take a deeper breath, it'll be ok.

I use 505 spray & fix and LOVE IT! I think you can use less than the directions indicate and still get good results. Never had a problem with my machine skipping stitches with it. A little residue gathers on the needle shank but not enough to be a problem. Maybe it wasn't dry?

Thank you. I think I may have followed the instructions too closely and used too much. It was dry when I went to work on it as this has been one of those infernally long projects that needs to be finished. Will get back to you unless I cut my throat first. Frustrated with myself.

I used something other than 505 once, and never again. I struggled with the entire quilt, cleaning my needle every 10 minutes, UGH! I e never had issues with 505, although I do let it sit overnight to dry.
