Default Washing a Quilt Sandwich before Quilting??

I basted a quilt sandwich last night, to dry over night. I have always had great results basting with washable glue with cotton batting. But since I am out of cotton, I pieced together some leftover polyester batting. I was pretty sure that glue basting would work equally well, but this morning I noticed that the glue just sank and dried hard into the polyester batting and didn't really adhere to the top or backing. I went a head and just pinned it. I'm wondering if I can wash it to get the glue out before quilting? I was thinking of using a gentle/hand wash cycle. I used Elmer's washable school glue.
