I would definitely wash the quilt after quilting because it feels kind of like Cornflakes in the sandwich. Elmer's washable glue would work best with a cotton or cotton blend batt I think.
I used the Elmer's washable school glue but I diluted it half and half, then used a damp paint brush to spread it very lightly onto the batting. Then I placed the backing/top onto the batting and pressed with my hands to be sure there were no puckers. I won't pay the price of the 505, etc. again as long as the glue works. Just sayin'
