I have one of the HE washers and when I wash quilts, I use the setting for bulky/bedding, which fills the tub. I use warm water and my regular HE detergent (I use All liquid). Even though I'm sometimes pretty generous with the Elmer's School Glue, I've never had a problem removing it all. One advantage of the HE washers is that they tend to take longer, which in this case, is a good thing.
