Curious as to what concerns you. School glue seems to be made of water soluble starch. It washes away. When it dries it does not gum up the needle. I've done maybe 10 quilts with glue and haven't even changed the needle (I'm bad about that!) and the starch washes out and does not clog anything. We have had many members using the Washable School glue and I don't remember anyone saying the dry starch gums a needle or does anything in the washer. Anyone have these issues?
