I just used sticky Solvy on a quilt border: traced the quilting pattern onto the Solvy and then stuck it to the border and quilted. BUT. . . then I tried to remove the excess before dunking it and it was a pain in the patoot! SO....on the next side of the quilt, I precut the Solvy, trimming it down close to the quilting pattern I had drawn on it. Made it so much easier. NOW...my question is: could I/should I rinse out the Solvy before or after putting the binding on? Does it matter if the Solvy stays on the quilt for several weeks or longer before removing it? I am reluctant to rinse (machine or tub) the quilt without having the binding on. Do you machine dry your quilt?
