Residual elmers washable school glue
I basted a quilt using Elmers Washable School Glue (fabulous!) but there are spots where the glue landed a bit thicker and didn’t wash out. I went to a laundromat and used a large washer. These spots are about the size of an eraser head. I am confident they will come out, but trying to decide least offensive method for the Dream wool batting. Should I hit the spots with Shout” spot treatment? ( mostly Kona solids) soak the quilt in the bath tub? Keep washing til it’s gone? I will be using my front load washer at home. I also used the crayola ultra clean washable markers and they are completely gone!

To avoid those heavy glue dots, I first dilute the glue with water, almost 50/50. Then after I squirt it on the batting, I use an old credit card and spread it around quickly and then layer the fabric. I have had no problem with the glue since I started this procedure.
