I have had a lot of problems recently with basting spray. Broken thread and skipped stitches. I checked everything else and the only remedy seems to be not using the spray. Has this happened to anyone else?

Did you switch brands? Or switch thread/needle when this problem started? It seems like it is a problem with the thread/needle more than the spray itself :D:D:D

I agree with amma. I usually pin baste, but have on occasion used the spray and haven't experienced that problem. What brand did you use?

I noticed that I was having some problems sewing over areas that had been sprayed when I was doing my last quilt, and backed off a lot on the spray. I had no problems on non-sprayed areas.

I always use Sulky basting sprays so don't know if other brands have similar issues.

I have been using June Tailor and never had any problems before but this quilt is the second one giving me trouble . When I use my practice sandwiches, which have no spray basting, I have no problems

The problem may be that you are using too much. I had this issue with using too much. A little does go a long way. Most brands take a minute to get really tacky , so it is easy to use more than is needed.

Well maybe I am not crazy then.

I bet I did use too much.

Thank you all for your help.

I have never had a problem like that because of the spray. It was usually a needle or even a thread problem.
