Yes your can start quilting. 505 will hold for a long time, unlike some other sprays that disappear quickly.

It's OK to do that. If you develop a little ball of adhesive at the top of the needle , you don't have to keep cleaning it off. It generally doesn't interfere with anything. I always spray baste. The easiest way to do it is on a design wall.
