I've never had gummy needles with Wonder Under (Pellon 805) and have used it by the 35 yd bolt for many years. I started with Steam-a-Seam2, regular and lite, but it always gummed up my needles so I switched and have never looked back.

Steam a seam is available again. I just ordered some from either hancock's of paducah or fabric.com (what can I say-it's a disease, this fabric buying). I don't have my order(s) yet so I haven't tried it yet though.

I had the same problem until I started using Sewer's Aid - a liquid silicone that I bought to held eliminate thread breakage when doing machine embroidery. It seems to work really well for that purpose, but I also rub my machine needle with my fingers with a tiny bit of the silicone on them. After using this product, if I do get any "gum" on the needle it just slides right off so easily. I love this stuff!!
