When you use glue to baste an applique down, do use wash it out as soon as the quilt is finished, or do you just wait until the quilt naturally needs to be washed. If you wait, is there a danger of it damaging or staining the quilt?

I am actually refering to the school type glue that is sometimes used instead of pins for applique, or in binding to keep everything from shifting. But maybe it would be the same as the spray baste. Thanks.

I don't worry about washing it out right away...It is only starch and water :D I do like to wash them though, as the glue does make the fabric a little stiffer. It may be an issue if you have silverfish or other starch loving bugs in your region :wink:
