I actually used spray adhesive tonight on a table topper and it was June Tailor brand. I've used Sulky brand too and have never had any problems with broken thread.
Make sure when you get ready to quilt, that you make any adjustments for your stitches - top and bottom tension adjustment, new needle, larger stitch if needed, make sure the bobbin is wound correctly, and that the machine and thread is loaded correctly. Sounds silly to say that, but thread will snap if it's caught at the top.
My needles have never gummed up with either brand, however I have had to deal with a load of lint and that takes a few minutes to suck out of the machine before anything else can get done. When your thread breaks, check for these and if need be, just rethread the machine again.
Good luck.
