The washable school glue is dry when you sew... sewww, no gumming up of your needle. The glue is dry when you sew either because you let it dry on its own or you touched it with a warm iron and dried it. Basically, unless you are putting huge globs of glue on you don't even notice sewing through the glue.
During my learning curve trials I put a little too much glue on the binding and had a hard time pushing my hand needle through. That problem was easily solved by wetting the area, letting it dry and re gluing. The key here is the fact that this glue is washable so it disappears when whetted.
