Depends a lot on the basting spray. I also find that if I let the basting spray sit overnight or so it is less likely to gum up the needle. (When it is "dry" it doesn't get as much on the needle.) Also double check your spray...... some can be "reactivated" by pressing with an iron. However Sulky's KK2000 will go away when heated.
A trick that does help keep the gunk from any adhesive from building up on the needle: wipe the needle every so often with a bit of Sewer's Aid. It is a silicon lubricant and helps keep the stuff from sticking.
Have fun,
