I would soak the article for a while and then wash again. I've never had this problem, either.

I haven't had a problem, but I usually wash the quilt in warm water so I guess that takes the glue out.

Though I don't know if you mean the cycle was shorter when you say a "light load".
A "light load" might involve less water, and time, than it takes to completely dissolve the glue? I have no marks, using straight school glue, that I iron dry, even on light, medium, or dark fabrics using a regular warm load setting and a little detergent. Toss into regular setting on dryer, no marks.

That was my guess, too. The new washers have a very low water level. But really, how does anyone know if the glue is completely washing out, other than that it's not feeling stiff? Couldn't some of it be migrating into the batting? I've always wondered a similar thing about wash-away stabilizers left inside.

Just curious,

i guess I figure it washes out because it rinses off my fingers really quick after I glue baste.

Ha. Well, that would put it ahead of the water-soluble stabilizer I tried. I was told to leave it in and it would "just wash away" when the quilt was washed, but I suspiciously rinsed a test block in the sink, and big, slimy pieces were sliding off the back. I came away not believing that it would magically flow out through the front of the quilt top when washed. I guess issues with the glue would have been reported by now, given how popular it is.

well I also have strange spots from spray starch on a medium gray solid that I have never seen before. Now I'm worried it won't wash out.

My new front loader .. I have to rinse my clothes twice now to get the soap out, so I would suspect the light load is the the problem here. Wash and rinse a couple times. Hopefully that will clear it up!

I just saw this in an article that says she uses glue to do seams, then washes quilt with synthrapol: http://www.diaryofaquilter.com/2014/...ct-points.html
