I've noticed that the amount of "gumines" on the needle while sewing is
directly related to the density of fabric I'm sewing on. The denser the
fabric, the more its denseness cleans the needle as it comes back up.
Sticky backing on sheer or pique creates the most troubles. Usually, my
trouble is that the threads break due to not flowing freely.

Subject: [amayausers] Sticky Back Gumming on Needle
Hey guys,
I haven't experienced this as a problem yet but a customer of mine
has...
What are the tricks to reducing gumming on the needles when doing small
lettering using sticky backing???
I would think it has to do with the grade of sticky backing. I'm going
to
bring this customer a sample of what we use to see if this doesn't fix his
problem.
I think I recall someone saying to place something on top of the
garment -
like maybe solvy or saran wrap? Not sure. I just ran six hats last night,
designs on both sides using sticky backing and fast frames and didn't have
any gumming issues.
(It's got to be the backing.)
Thanks,
