Default Washing Out Elmer's School Glue After Binding Your Quilt?

Was interested in all the posts on Sharon Schamber's binding technique using Elmer's school glue. I just finished a quilt binding using Sharon's terrific method and, per instructions on Elmer's web site, put that quilt straight into the bathtub to soak for 24 hours in room temperature water immediately after the last stitch. (woo hoo--a finished project!)

I am a fan, too, but for all of you who have been doing this for a while, especially those of you who said the glue washes out easily, what steps do you take to make sure all the glue gets gone? It doesn't really matter in a wall hanging or table runner, but what about bed and baby quilts? TIA
