Thanks for the question. It didn't gum up the needle at all for me. I don't put that much on, and it quickly evaporates holding the chalk in place in the process. I also think when you press the stencil to help the hairspray keep it from moving, after you lift it off, any residue from excess hairspray is now on the stencil. That residue can be cleaned off easily should it become an issue. I've not seen that with the hairspray, but I have seen it when I've used stronger adhesives like basting sprays.
Hi there, I've been using this method for a couple of years now. I've never had any type of build up on the longarm needle or the fabric. I use a lint brush after quilting and the Chalk comes right off with lint brush, but doesn't bounce off with hopper foot on longarm. You can always wash the quilt after binding it, and the ultimate irons off also
In the case of that particular quilt, I did nothing by way of removing chalk or hairspray. It wasn't necessary. If it was, washing the quilt or ironing of the chalk would work. The hairspray has long evaporated. I noticed no residue from it

Love it!
Does the hairspray gum up your needle at all?

how do you get the marks off when you use the hair spray? And how to get the hair spray off?
