Thank you all for your input. I did try to press again but without any luck.
The glue held in spots but not all over. Now with all of my working on the quilt I have stretched many of the bias edges (the blocks were all made with the strip tube ruler) and I have puffy spots between what ditching I had done. This was supposed to have been a fun and easy quilt intended for a gift. Now it is becoming a real learning experience on dealing with Murphy's law.
I've pinned it and will try to continue that way. Next quilt I am back to spray basting as I have no idea what went wrong here.
