Are you using an embroidery needle--has a bigger eye and groove for the
thread. Also, try the liquid Sewer's Aid on your needle--it works great
preventing skipped stitches and "gunk" build up to sew through the
glued-on "sequin"
fabric, so it might help you.
Another idea, A friend of mine has this exact problem appliqueing Linen.
She iron's onto the wrong side of the base fabric a layer of the
tear-away fabric paper that stiffens the fabric.....can't remember the name.
This reduces the gum up to the point that she doesn't have a problem
any more. Then, when she's done, she just tears the paper away and
all is great.
Good luck
