did you over spray when making the topper? Did you wash and dry the topper before using? So many questions to be answered......

I can't believe they would say dry cleaning to remove adhesive. You should be able to just wash it out. At least Elmer's is washable. Who would dry clean a quilt? That would be expensive unless the fabric used needed dry cleaning.

Also, dry cleaning is not recommended for quilts at all.

Oh that's a bummer! Sorry this happened to you.
I have zero experience with spray so I'm no help.

Thanks all for your responses.

I have been using Elmer’s school glue with no problems like this since I heard about it here, and no fumes. I just iron it dry using a press cloth over and under it to protect the ironing board and iron. Bonus, it washes out completely.

I have used Sullivan's for years and have never had trouble. I use things I have made on my wooden dining table and other furniture and it never sticks.

Never used an oil diffuser so no knowledge if that could cause the problem. I have a runner on my table that I use for a hot pad for hot pans off the stove and out of the oven. It was basted with basting spray and I've never had problem with the topper sticking to the table underneath the pan. It's washed a lot so I doubt there is any spray left in it by now anyway.
