So far, I've only steamed the quilt top and backing to it. It seems quite stiff and slightly, hmmm, what's the term here? Puckered? Dimpled? all over, front and back. Does the stiffness go away when the quilting is done? Does the quilt have to be washed when finished to remove the glue or does it just get softer and allow the fabric to "fall away" from the batting. Maybe it's just not noticeable when done?

Thanks!
