I didn't want to wash the whole quilt with all the raw edges exposed, so I did it by hand in the kitchen sink, a few inches at a time, rubbing the glue off between my fingers, which was hard to do because it was already dried and stiff. Thank goodness I had done only one side. Anyway, it was a mess and took forever; scrubbing it with my fingers also distorted the binding strips. Anyway, I will never do it again. I just pin it and stitch by hand and I'm good. Never stick myself either!
