Will glue stick gum up the needle?

Thanks to everyone for their replies! I sewed over my glued pieces without incident.
I should invest in some of those nonstick needles and have them on hand. Yesterday I had already glued the pieces together at the time I posted and was hoping I wouldn't have to wait to get some.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]602945[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]602946[/ATTACH]At Michaels I found these bottle caps that will fit the Elmers' School Glue bottles, they come six in a pkg. and not very expensive. I also found anti-glue sewing machine needles from the following website: www.madoira.com I hope this helps you out.

I use it to hold HST pieces together so they don't get wonky when sewing and those little corners don't curl or get stuck under the needle.
Never had a problem. AND it washes out nicely.

I primarily use the liquid glue and glue baste my quilt sandwiches together for quilting. I let the glue dry and have never had any problem with gummy needles. I just run a thin stream in a zig zag fashion on my quilt bat and then lay either the backing or front of the quilt over that depending on which side I'm doing. For piecing or to hold some little thing in place I use either a glue stick or liquid. I do have the fine tip for the liquid and will use a tooth pick for the glue stick if I just need a little dab. I wash my quilts to get the glue disolved and out of the quilt.
